Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, desiccated coconut, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the coconut milk and vanilla extract to the bowl and stir until a dough forms.

Step 5

Use your hands to form the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the lined baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake the biscuits for 15-18 minutes, or until they are lightly golden on the outside.

Step 7

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
