Notes

*On coconut. If all you have is sweetened coconut shreds, use those. Increase the salt a little to balance it. And if you are using unsweetened, coconut and have a few extra minutes to spare, toast the coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned. Stir often. Add the toasted coconut to the flour and proceed as directed.
