Coconut Flour, the easier way

Hiiii. Okay, seeing as I'm going to be incorporating more coconut flour into my recipes, I figured I would show you a lazy way of making it. The more stressful way is to use fresh coconuts, which would involve breaking the coconuts and grating them. Well, sometimes, you just don't have the patience to grate!

Enter unsweetened desiccated coconuts. This way, you take a shortcut to both coconut milk and coconut flour.

Ingredients

500g of unsweetened desiccated coconut
Boiling water (the quantity of water depends on how light or thick your want your milk to be)

Method

In a large bowl, combine the coconuts and hot water. Stir well and cover. Leave it for 30 minutes. Pour into a sieve, making sure to squeeze out all the liquid from the chaff. If your milk is too thick, repeat with a little more hot water.
Spread the chaff evenly on a baking sheet. Put it in the oven at 300 for about 30 minutes. Check to make sure chaff is dry and crisp. Process into a powder. Use in recipes that call for it.

Enjoy, and remember,
It's sooo good for you!
