Paphos People

I made this last night for guests and was quite sceptical about the outcome . . . . . it was gorgeous and so simple!

5 large eggs
175g/6 ozs caster sugar
Pinch of salt
450 ml/ 16 fl oz milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
50g/2ozs softened butter (it must be softened) or soft margarine
65g/2½ ozs plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
50g/2 ozs desiccated coconut



Method: Heat oven to 180c/160c fan oven/gas mark 4. Put all the ingredients in a food processor. Whiz until blended. (If you do not have a food processor then a blender will do). Pour into a pie dish or the equivalent, about 25cm across by about 5cm/2 inches deep. Bake for an hour. The ingredients will have settled into pastry at the bottom, custard filling and coconut at the top.

I actually baked it for an hour and a quarter - the coconut topping was toasted golden, and yes, it had separated into the three layers!!! I let it cool and then chilled it, and it was absolutely delicious.

I can agree with Jean cause I made it last week and it was absolutely delicious. Ken liked it so much he ate nearly all of it himself!!! Mind you he needs feeding up unlike me!!!

Oh it sounds so yummy!! I will have to do this one day, maybe when my sister comes, as no one likes coconut in my house.

Lyn, Ken sounds like he is like me for coconut..

I remember walking down the high street with my dad when I was younger and he kept stopping to look at the St Bernard in the window and kept saying, ' look at the coconut dog'. Now I know what he meant.
