Description
My best friend gave me this recipe she was given while in British Guyana. You can substitute butter with margarine if the thought of a half pound of butter terrifies you 🙂 These are really delicious!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, cut into pieces
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ¾ cup flaked coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a large bowl

- sugar
- baking powder
- and salt. Add butter
- and cut in using a pastry blender or a fork until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. In a separate bowl
