1 cup sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

3 large eggs

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup flaked coconut

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell

 

Prepare pie crust and chill.  Preheat oven to 425 deg.  Combine flour and sugar in large bowl.  Beat in melted butter, eggs, and buttermilk.  Add coconut, vanilla, and almond extract.  Blend well.  Pour into chilled pie crust.  Bake 10 minutes.  Reduce heat to 350 deg. and continue baking 35 minutes.  Do not open oven when reducing temperature.  Pie will puff up as it bakes and collapse as it cools.  Serve at room temperature.
