Notes

  • Toasting your coconut flakes will make them more flavorful. To toast them, simply add coconut to a pan, and over medium high heat, start toasting. Regularly mix to evenly toast the coconut flakes. They could burn quick, so do not leave unattended, and reember that the heat of the pan will continue to toast them even if the stove is off.
