Coconut Bread Trinidad

3 c flour

1 tsp salt

1 c sugar

1 c evaporated milk

1/2 c unsalted butter -- melted and cooled

1 tbsp baking powder

2 c finely grated fresh coconut

1 large egg -- well beaten

1 tsp vanilla

sugar to sprinkle on top

DIRECTIONS:

Sift flour, add 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.
