An easy bread, likened in flavour to putting a straw in a coconut! Of course, using fresh coconut to grate and make the coconut milk is devine if you have the time. (Note that you need to prepare coconut milk from the coconut meat, not just use what is poured from the coconut.) You might wish to top this with a lime glaze. From Sundays at Moosewood. Ingredients:
4 cups flour |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 egg, beaten |
1 cup coconut milk |
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups grated unsweetened coconut |
1 cup currants (optional) or 1 cup raisins (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Sift dry ingredients into mixing bowl. Blend in egg, milk, butter, and vanilla.
3. Mix in the grated coconut and the currants or raisins, if used.
4. Turn out onto a floured board and knead slightly. Shape into two loaves and pat into two buttered medium loaf pans.
5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick in the centre comes out clean.
