Filling: In a saucepan, combine sugar, flour, and salt and add milk and egg yolks, mixing thoroughly. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Add 1 cup coconut and vanilla extract. Cool slightly, then turn into pie shell.

Meringue: Beat egg whites until foamy throughout. Add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating after each addition until sugar is blended. Continue beating until mixture will stand in peaks.
