Buko Pie

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup vegetable shortening
• 6 to 8 tablespoons cold water

For the Filling:

• 2 cups young coconut meat
• 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
• 1/2 cup cornstarch diluted in 1/2 cup young coconut water
• 1/2 cup evaporated milk

Instructions:

1. Prepare the crust. In a bowl, combine flour and salt, then mix well with a balloon whisk. Add butter and shortening, and mix using a pastry mixer until crumbly. Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to mix until the dough comes together. Divide the mixture into two equal parts.
2. On a floured surface or using a silicon mat, flatten each portion of dough and roll out with a rolling pin until wide enough to fit an eight or nine-inch cake pan.
3. Place the first flattened dough into the cake pan, forming the base. Set aside the second flattened dough for later use.
4. For the filling, heat a saucepan and pour in the evaporated milk. Allow it to boil.
5. Stir in the granulated white sugar until dissolved.
6. Add the young coconut meat and cook for about 3 minutes.
7. Pour in the cornstarch diluted in young coconut water, stirring thoroughly until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool down.
8. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
9. Arrange the cooked filling evenly in the cake pan over the first crust.
10. Place the second crust over the filling and seal the edges.
11. Use a fork to create holes on the top crust to serve as exhaust vents.
12. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown. Keep an eye on the color to determine when baking is complete.
13. Allow the pie to cool before serving. Slice, share, and enjoy the delicious Buko Pie!
