Coconut Cream Pie

I am nuts about coconut cream pie; pun intended.  This looks ridiculously easy although I will be honest, it's going to be at least until this current heat wave ends before I try it.  95-100 degrees for a couple of days running is too warm to run the oven.  It's crust-less; does that count for fewer carbs?

1 C. white sugar
2 tbsp. all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
6 tbsp. butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
1 12oz. can evaporated milk
1 C. shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Generously grease and flour a 9 inch pie pan.

In a medium bowl, mix together sugar, flour, and salt.  Stir in melted butter or margarine and vanilla.  Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.  Mix in evaporated milk, followed by coconut.  Pour mixture into pie plate.

Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes.  Chill before serving.
