Pineapple Squares (Elsie)

This is the best pineapple square recipe I've ever come across!

Crust
1/2 cup butter or marg.
1/4 cup of sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
Cream together butter and sugar. Add flour and mix until crumbs are formed, then blend well with hands to form a soft smooth dough. Press evenly into bottom of 8"x8"  ( 9"x9"works too ) pan with about 1/2 inch extending up sides of pan. Prick pastry with fork. Bake @ 350 for 15 minutes.

 Topping
1   cup well drained unsweetened crushed pineapple ( I usually do this before I make the pastry,it takes awhile to drain.)
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk (approx. 1 can)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup coconut ( I use unsweetened )

Spread pineapple over hot crust
Blend milk,vanilla and coconut, spoon over pineapple.
Bake @ 350 for 30 minutes.
