The Impossible Pie - An Old South African recipe.....

 


Ingredients:

½ cup flour

 ½ tsp baking powder

 1 cup coconut

 Pinch of salt

 1 cup of sugar

 1 tsp vanilla essence

 5 tbsp soft butter

 2 cups milk 

4 eggs 

 Place all the ingredients into a mixing bowl or processor, blend until very well mixed and creamy, at least 3 minutes. Pour into a greased pie dish and bake at 180°C for about an hour, until golden brown and crispy. When done, the pie crust will be at the bottom, the baked custard in the middle, and the coconut on top –  Serve warm, while the custard is still creamy and buttery and delicious, and the coconut topping crispy, but it’s also pretty good chilled. It’s one of those desserts/tea-time treats that needs no ice cream or cream, just serve it on a plate sprinkled with a little cinnamon,

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
