• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Directions

• Scald milk; set aside. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a bowl, beat eggs until thick and lemon-colored; stir in vanilla. Gradually add sugar, blending well. On low speed, alternately mix in milk and dry ingredients. Pour batter into a greased 10-in. cast-iron skillet.
