Notes

If you don’t have butter with tablespoon markings, measure ¾ C plus 2 tablespoon to equal 14 Tbsp.
To toast coconut - spread in an even layer on a baking sheet and bake at 300 Deg F (150 C) stirring occasionally for about 8-10 minutes until toasted. Watch carefully as coconut can burn very quickly.
