Welcome to the kitchen and introduction to the recipe for coconut drops.

Gather ingredients: 1.5 pounds of flour, 1 cup of grated coconut, 1 cup of raisins, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of yeast.

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.

Add lukewarm water gradually to activate the yeast and achieve a runny cake-like batter texture.

Continue mixing until the batter reaches the desired consistency, adding more water if necessary.

Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes.

Prepare silicone muffin cup liners for baking.

Spoon the batter into the silicone cup liners, filling them about a thicker spoon and a half each.

Preheat the oven and bake the coconut drops for about 15 to 20 minutes until they are golden brown.

Remove the coconut drops from the oven and let them cool slightly before taking them out of the silicone cups.
