This is the recipe that they made at the Polynesian Cultural Center. They wrapped it in foil and cooked it in a fire pit. I decided to change the recipe and make it more like coconut biscuits. I think it needed some salt and more of a rise and lightness. It can still be made in tin foil in a fire.
2 c. coconut
4 c. flour
2 T. baking powder
1 t. salt
1/2- 1 c. sugar ( depends on the sweetness wanted)
1/3 c. oil ( I use olive oil)
1 - 1 1/2 c. milk or coconut milk
1 t. vanilla( put in milk)
I added some chopped macadamia, I had some coconut milk in the fridge and added some in place of some of the milk. Coconut milk is thicker so i needed to add more milk. I was thinking that these could be used as the biscuit for strawberry shortcake. Yum! Rod just got some fresh strawberries out of the field yesterday and they where so wonderful.
Combine coconut, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. add oil and stir in the flour mixture till incorporated through out the flour. Pour in milk and stir till barely incorporated. Put on counter and fold over gently , add flour if sticky, continue till lightly kneaded for 30 seconds. Pat into desired thickness. 3/4 inc- 1 inch cut into desired shape Bake 400 10 -12 min or till browned
