Cocoanut Pie (II)

Mrs. Thomas.

Grate fresh cocoanut ; to one cup of cocoanut add one and one-half cups of sweet milk, the yolks of four eggs, a little salt, and sweeten to taste; one tablespoon of melted butter; beat the whole five or six minutes; beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, and put over the top just long enough to slightly brown before taking the pie from the oven. If you use desiccated cocoanut soak it in the milk over night.
