Method 5 steps
Gently crack open the coconut, and separate the meat from the shell. Use a grater or food processor to shred the coconut.
Combine the grated coconut, sugar, cassava starch, and nutmeg. Stir in water until it forms a dough ball.
Roll out the dough until thin. Cut out square biscuits, and transfer them to a buttered baking tray.
Bake the biscuits for about 20–25 minutes at 150°C (300°F) until golden brown and crisped.
Remove the biscuits from the oven, and let cool.
