3 c Flour
1 ts Salt
1 c Sugar
1 c Evaporated milk
1/2 c Unsalted butter, melted and
-cooled
1 tb Baking powder
2 c Finely grated fresh coconut
1 lg Egg, well beaten
1 ts Vanilla
Sugar
Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in coconut. Combine egg, milk,
vanilla and butter. Make a well in the dry ingredients. Pour liquid into
the well. Stir lightly but thoroughly and pour into 2 greased 8 or 9 inch
loaf pans, filling pans about
2/3 full. Sprinkle the top of the batter with sugar. Bake at 350 F
for about 55 minutes or until they test done.
Notes: I have used packaged coconut instead of the fresh but found a little
more liquid was needed. Also the flavor was not quite as good but still
passable.
Nice toasted for breakfast but watch since it burns easily.
