Flaky Coconut Roll || Trini Coconut Turnover- Episode 167

[@zedfaced1441]

This is my testimony - I tried this as shown on your video and I was impressed with a capital "I". I also love coconut as well, and the island I grew up on there were two bakeries that made the best coconut rolls with a similar dough consistency. I made a few coconut rolls before based on other videos on KZbin and this was the first one that didn’t call for yeast or baking powder. Your technique taste very much like the stuff I ate growing up. As soon as I tasted it I got excited and sad all at once. Thanks for helping me to create nostalgic memories and happiness. I am so excited I found a receipt that taste very close to the coconut rolls I use to love as a child.

Thank you for the amazing comment and feedback! Made my day!

[@bosswomantt]

Omg. I tried this recipe. 1/2 anyways and it was perfect. I omitted the food colouring even though I know its tradition...but the flaky goodness. Thank you. So simple to follow too. Great tips and tricks!

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

It’s so delicious! And no need for the food coloring. I often make it without too

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Thank you so much for the lind comment. I agree baking it yourself is so much better. Have a great day

[@tharamatikaufmann4681]

Hi I tried your coconut roll crust yesterday evening and it came out superb! I like how u simplify and present an adjustable recipe and explain in detail. I used half cup of sugar ideal for my taste. I also broke up the dough into four portions and opened them out very thin placing them on top of each other, kinda like a patatha. It was perfect. I salute u and thanks for sharing this recipe.

Is it possible to use Salted butter and omit the salt in the dough?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Yes that definitely works

[@selenephillip8894]

Hi how many pieces of the pastry do you get with 2 cups of flour?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

With this entire recipe, you get 2 loaves as shown in the video.

Hi I did try yours recipe... doubling it, making sure all measurements was accurate. I realize that the pastry came out hard and somewhat dry. Why is that though?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

You may need to add more water to the dough

[@AussieAngeS]

Oh wow that looks totally wonderful 😍😍😍

Hi i tried this and my coconut mix turn into sugarcake dont understsnd y

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

You overcooked the coconut mixture then. Take it off the heat once you mix in the sugar.

[@babesdean6897]

I tried brushing the pastry with milk, and it was disastrous..it was not flaky and it was very hard on top.

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

You can also try egg. That shouldn’t have happened.

Not look golden brown

[@Godschosenchild_0517]

I am from the islands and this is not how folks taught us how to make coconut slice and kneading flour it’s a no. Not even a little bit of water to boil in the ingredients and sugar with the coconut? Plus the flour needs to be knead in properly and a little softer so you won’t need to fix the edges when preparing it for the ingredients. That’s not the way

[@Godschosenchild_0517]

Gon be so dry after a day

[@iLoveTurtlesHaha]

everyone makes things differently. You do it your way or make a video about it.

[@SweetTea742]

In the beginning of the video he said he's doing his "twist" on the classic recipe. He said instead of the original bread like dough, he's going to do a flaky pastry instead.
