   3      c             Flour
   1      ts            Salt
   1      c             Sugar
   1      c             Evaporated milk
     1/2  c             Unsalted butter -- melted,
                        - cooled
   1      tb            Baking powder
   2      c             Fresh coconut -- finely grated
   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 two
greased 8 or 9" loaf pans, filling pans about 2/3rd 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.
