I have seen this recipe before and was always intrigued by it, but not until recently did I try it. I was inspired when it appeared in the Amish Cook column which doesn't happen to run in our local paper. It is featured each Sunday in my aunt and uncle's, though, and so each week my aunt clips the article for me and saves them for a month. Faithfully, she has sent me month's installments at a time for years. Not long ago, Miracle Pie was highlighted and so I made it to carry-in with a meal I had provided.
Miracle Pie
1 cup sugar (Jeremiah 6:20)
1/4 cup butter (Genesis 18:8)
4 eggs (Deuteronomy 22:6)
1/2 cup flour (2 Kings 7:18)
2 cups milk (Hebrews 5:13)
1 cup coconut (Genesis 13:11)
1/4 tsp. salt (Matthew 5:13)
1/2 tsp. baking powder (2 Kings 23:15)
1 tsp. vanilla (no verse listed)
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend thoroughly. Pour into a 9 inch pie pan that has been greased and floured. Bake at 350 degrees for an hour. A thick crust will form on the bottom, an egg-flavored custard in the middle and the coconut topping above.

Now what intrigued me most about this recipe was how the ingredients were tied to scripture, so I also listed the Bible verses. Naturally I cross-referenced each ingredient, though, and discovered that they are not all clearly listed in the referenced text. For example, I cannot figure out how Genesis 13:11 has anything to do with coconut. At any rate, it is interesting!
Have a blessed weekend!
