My husband says it's not good cooking unless it's made from scratch. This is an old-fashioned way of making coconut pie from scratch.

The original recipe that I have, shows 3 egg yolks, beaten, not 3 eggs lightly beaten as shown above, This is an error, as it says to combine flour,sugar,salt, milk & egg yolks. You are using the yolks in the pie & the whites in ther meringue, only 3 eggs total.

I agree with your husband I'm spoiled on scratch homemade foods. The taste was great. The meringue turned out good. I did cut down some of the sugar. My family doesn't like some things to sweet. I find some receipes has to much sugar added. But to each their own on their sweet tooth. It was easy to make.
