Begin by sifting the flour, salt, and baking powder into a mixing bowl.
In another bowl, combine the grated coconut and sugar, then mix this coconut mixture into the sifted flour.
Next, add the milk and melted butter or olive oil to the mixture.
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth.
Cover the dough and let it rise for 10 minutes.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a circle that is ¾ to 1 inch thick.
Place the rolled dough into a greased baking tin, which can be round or square.
Decorate the top of the dough by pricking it with a fork.
Bake in a moderate oven at approximately 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes or until it turns light brown.
Once baked, allow it to cool.
