Coconut Biscuits
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup flakes coconut, toasted
I had never toasted coconut before and I had no clue how I should go about doing it. I figured there couldn't be much to it. I had seen my mom do it in the past without any problems. I tried what I thought would work and without going into too much detail, if you see smoke coming from the oven, the coconut is toasted!
The biscuits turned out delicious! I love them and I probably ate way more than I should have. I only ended up with 15, so they were about 150 calories each. Rich and Blake liked them, but I couldn't get Morgan to try them. I think she thought I was baking cookies when I made them, so she was quite disappointed when she saw that they weren't.
