Coconut Drops
Coconut Drops - the tropical delicacy, are the best combination among grated coconut, flour, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, coconut essence, vanilla essence, eggs, baking powder, and sometimes raisons. After mixing the ingredients together, the mixture is spooned onto a baking sheet and baked until golden brown. Coconut drops are a delicious snack to have during the day. Take some back home with you to remind you of your time in Grenada.
