This sweet treat is a traditional dish that’s often wrapped in banana leaves. Waxed paper also works for containing the coconut mixture for serving. Inspired by Whole Planet Foundation® microcredit client recipes.

Method
In a large skillet, toast flour over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 8 minutes (watch carefully, removing the skillet from heat if flour begins to smoke).
In a large bowl, combine coconut and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water; stir until coconut is moistened.
Add toasted flour and sugar and stir until completely blended.
Divide into 8 equal portions.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a cylinder about 1/2-inch wide and wrap in waxed paper.
Chill until firm.
