The Best Coconut Pie

This is an old pie recipe that we adore!!!! It's one of our absolute favorite recipes.

5 eggs
2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup melted butter
1 (10 ounce) package flaked coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until smooth. Blend in buttermilk and melted butter. Stir in the coconut and vanilla. Pour filling into  pie shells.  Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown. Cover with foil if they start browning too quickly.
