rose's coconut custard pie
My parents growing up took me to a hotdog stand in 5 Points, NJ. The restaurant had been there since my Mom was a child. She was born in 1921. Rose Hamp was the star waitress. She never wrote a ticket she not only could remember the order perfectly but when you were ready to leave she could add the bill in her head. Rose bought the place in the 1950's My family all 4 genertions have always gone to 5 Points otherwise know as the Galloping Hill Inn. No matter what you call it they have great hot dogs and pie. Order the complete for the hotdog or they won't understand

1Crust: Put Spry into medium mixing bowl. Add boiling water and milk and break up Spry with fork. Tilt bowl and whip with fork or mixer until smooth and thick like whipped cream and holds soft peaks when fork is lifted. Sift flour and salt together into Spry mixture. Stir quickly with round-the-bowl strokes, until dough clings together and cleans the bowl.
