I am in awe of impossible pie.
If someone actually said: "look, just make a custard and chuck in a cup of coconut and half a cup of flour and it will turn itself into a pie..."
Well, that would sound ridiculous, wouldn't it? Impossible, almost.
But that happens! You just make some gloop that basically involves putting coconut and flour into custard and poor the gloop into a pie dish, and then physics makes a pie! The coconut rises to the top to form a crust, the flour sinks to the bottom to form a base, and the custard hangs around the middle for form a filling.
It's amazing!
It's also delicious, and is completely unfazed by replacing the flour with a gluten-free substitute. I made one on the weekend using a straight swap - half a cup of gluten-free flour for half a cup of plain flour. You couldn't tell it wasn't made with normal flour. The magic pastry looked, tasted and felt just fine.
It's magic! Impossible! Good.
