Add 1 cup of plain flour to a bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar to the bowl.

Add 1 cup of desiccated coconut (or grated fresh coconut) to the bowl.

Mix the ingredients by hand until combined.

Add a pinch of salt to the mixture.

Gradually add cold water to the mixture, step by step, until the dough reaches the right consistency.

Knead the dough until it's not too soft or too hard; adjust with more water or flour as needed.

Sprinkle flour on a clean table and place the dough on it.

Sprinkle flour on top of the dough and flatten it with a rolling pin, but do not flatten it too much.

Turn the dough over, sprinkle a bit of flour, and flatten it slightly again.

Use a kitchen knife to slice the dough into desired shapes.

Heat fresh vegetable oil in a pan until hot but not too hot.

Fry the dough pieces one by one in the hot oil, stirring occasionally for about 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown.

Remove the fried biscuits and place them on a kitchen towel to drain excess oil.
