Ingredients
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
200g thick shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 heaping tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh eggs and dairy in the chilled section of your local supermarket. Thick shredded coconut is typically available in the baking aisle. If you cannot find thick shreds, desiccated coconut can be used as a substitute, though the texture will be finer.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth base.
- Fold in the shredded coconut, milk, and the cornstarch (dissolve the cornstarch in a splash of the milk first if needed for easier blending).
- Mix all the ingredients vigorously until you achieve a consistent and smooth batter.
- Pour the mixture into a baking dish that has been well-greased with butter.
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake until the empadão is golden brown and set.
