Coconut Bread Trinidad
Yield: 12 Servings
Ingredients:
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.
