"Impossible" lemon pie



Another favourite recipe when our chickens are being kind and giving us lots of eggs and our citrus trees are in fruit. This morning I made it with limes as our lime tree is fruiting well and our lemons aren't ripe just yet. It's so easy to make and so yummy. I always get requests so here is the recipe for you to enjoy.

1 cup desiccated coconut
1/2 cup plain flour
1 1/4 cups caster sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon rind
4 eggs
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 cups milk
40g butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
cream to serve

Preheat the oven to 180C. Place coconut, flour, sugar and lemon rind in a large bowl. Add the eggs, lemon juice, milk, butter and vanilla and stir until well combined. Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 4 cup capacity baking dish and bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve with cream.

The pie is a bit syrupy on the bottom but that makes it all the yummier.
