Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix together sugar, water, and melted butter until smooth.

Add the contents of the whole coconut (shredded coconut) to the wet mixture and stir until combined.

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a batter forms.

Heat cooking oil in a deep pot over medium heat.

Using a spoon, drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil.

Fry the beignets until golden brown, about 8 minutes per batch.
