Yield : 14 biscuits
Ingredients :
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
3 tablespoons water
Preparation Method :
1. Preheat the oven to 375F. In a medium-size bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, sugar, nutmeg and salt. Stir in the coconut. Add the water and mix, forming a very stiff dough that will not crumble.
2. Roll out the dough on a floured board to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut the dough into small rectangles. Place the pieces onto a greased cookie sheet and prick each one with a fork. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes, or until brown. Remove from the oven and transfer to a plate to cool.
Makes 12 to 15 biscuits
"This crunchy snack will keep you for a long time. Yet another clever Jamaican expression, its name reputedly comes from the sounds made during eating, which resemble a jackass chewing on his corn."
