2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup flaked coconut
1 (9-inch) pie shell, unbaked (see recipe)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine beaten eggs, sugar, salt, flour, melted butter, pineapple and coconut. Mix until well-combined. Pour into pie shell. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes.

Elsah Landing Pastry for One-Crust Pie
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
2 to 3 1/2 tablespoons ice water

Spoon flour lightly into a 1-cup dry measure. Level off. Sift flour and salt together into a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture forms particles slightly larger than grains of rice. Sprinkle with ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Toss gently with a fork until all particles are uniformly moistened and will barely stick together. Shape mixture into a ball. Roll out on a lightly floured pastry cloth to form pie shell. Ease into pie plate; flute edges.

Yield: 1 (9-inch) pie crust.
