Cocoanut Pies

Pour one cupful of milk into a saucepan, boil and sprinkle in one tablespoonful of corn starch mixed with two tablespoonfuls of sugar; when these are incorporated, add a lump of butter, one pinch of salt and two ounces of grated cocoanut. Pour the mixture in a basin, let it cool, add the whites of four eggs beaten to a froth, put the mixture into pans lined with puff paste, and bake until done.
