Welcome to the channel and introduction to the recipe.

Prepare the wet ingredients by adding butter, shortening, molasses, honey, ginger powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt into a pot.

Stir the mixture until the sugar starts to melt, ensuring it doesn't boil, just heating it low and slow until hot but manageable.

Add 1 cup of freshly grated coconut to the melted mixture and stir to combine.

In a separate bowl, add strong flour (or all-purpose flour) and make a well in the center.

Add one part baking soda and two parts baking powder to the flour and whisk to combine, sieving to remove lumps.

Once the liquid mixture has cooled, pour most of it into the well of the dry ingredients, mixing gradually to form a dough.

Knead the dough a couple of times on a floured surface to ensure it's combined and pliable, dusting with flour as needed.

Roll out the dough to about half an inch thickness, using hands if no rolling pin is available.

Cut the dough into rounds using a floured cup as a cutter and place them on a lined baking tray.

Bake the rounds in the oven at 350°F for 20 to 30 minutes, checking after 15 minutes for doneness.

Once baked, serve with cream cheese spread or butter.
