Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- Place the grated coconut in a large mixing bowl.
- Add granulated sugar along with sifted flour, nutmeg, salt, and bicarbonate of soda.
- Mix thoroughly with your hands until a smooth, cohesive dough forms.
Step 2: Roll and Cut
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is paper-thin.
- Cut the dough into approximately 2-inch rounds.
Step 3: Bake
- Place the rounds on a greased baking tray.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) on the top shelf for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Step 4: Cool and Store
- Allow the biscuits to cool completely; they will become delightfully crisp as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
