Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9-inch pie dishes.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer (or stand mixer) to combine eggs, sugar, milk, flour, butter, and vanilla.
4 large eggs, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, 2 cups whole milk, ½ cup self-rising flour, ¼ cup unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Fold in the coconut flakes.
7 ounces sweetened coconut flakes
Pour the mixture evenly into the two pie dishes.
Place the pies into the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before serving.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Notes
*A gluten-free flour blend may be substituted for the self-rising flour. In addition, you'll need to add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. We have not attempted the recipe with any other substitutions.
