Culinary Travel - Guyanese Coconut Buns

These buns are a quick and easy desert or snack, that’s a favorite among Guyanese everywhere.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, cut into pieces
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup flaked coconut

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Add butter, and cut in using a pastry blender or a fork until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. 

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet ingredients. 

Add coconut, and mix just enough to blend. 

Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

Notes
You can substitute butter with margarine if the thought of a half pound of butter terrifies you as well as adding cinnamon, and sugar. Plus you can add raisins or cranberries if you want to.  These are really delicious!
