Brenham Texas Bed & Breakfast Great Stay

French Coconut Pie

This is the coconut we we serve at The Brenham House!

Patricia loves Coconut Pie so I told her I would post it....It is very simple.

4 T. melted butter

2 eggs, beaten

3/4 c. sugar

1 T. flour

1 tsp. vanilla

1 c. milk or 1/2 and 1/2

1 1/4 c. coconut

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients except the coconut, in a large bowl. No need for a mixer. In a prepared unbaked pie shell spread your coconut evenly, and pour in the mixture! That simple.... bake for 45-60 minutes until set. I use a convection oven for even baking and it usually takes about 38-40 minutes. Enjoy and think of us at The Brenham House!

Bake pears, basting after 15 minutes, for 30 minutes.

The Brenham House Welcome to our home. The Brenham House was built in the 1920’s on the foundation of what was the first German Lutheran Church of Brenham. Unfortunately, the church was destroyed during the great storm of the 1900’s, leaving the sturdy lime stone steps behind – steps that continue to greet visitors today.
