F.A.Q.

  • – I don’t like coconut, what can I use instead?

    – Use 2 1/4 cups of flour

  • – Why do you use type 1 flour?

    – It’s a bit less refined; but if you prefer, you can use all-purpose flour

  • – Can I use butter instead of oil?

    – Yes, but melted and cooled… otherwise 5 minutes won’t be enough. Use about 8 tbsp
