Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the plain flour, icing sugar, desiccated coconut, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Grate the unsalted butter and mix it into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form.

  6. Cut the dough into 8 triangles and place them on the baking tray with space between.
