Steps:
- Place the flour, coconut and salt in a food processor; process until blended. Add butter; pulse until mixture is the size of peas. While pulsing, add just enough ice water to form moist crumbs. Shape dough into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight., Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim dough to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Line unpricked dough with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice., Bake on a lower oven rack for 8 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until crust is light brown, 6-9 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven setting to 325°., In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, buttermilk, lemon juice, cornmeal, lemon zest, salt and nutmeg. Gradually whisk in butter. Pour into crust. Cover edge with foil to prevent overbrowning. , Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, for 35-40 minutes. Remove foil. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate, covered, for 3 hours or until chilled., For sauce, in a small saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil. Cook until syrup is reduced to 1/4 cup; transfer to a small bowl.
