- 2 cup milk
- 1 cup flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- texas-style toast, cut half diagonally
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut

- In a large skillet or frying pan heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat (if you add a drop of water it should sizzle; then it's ready).
- Mix your beaten eggs, sugar, salt, coconut extract, milk, flour, baking powder and 1/4 cup of the unsweetened coconut together in a pie pan or bowl.
- On a separate plate or pie plate add the sweetened and unsweetened coconut and mix it together.
- Quickly dip your bread on both sides in the egg/flour mixture, then dip both sides in coconut.
- Add to skillet and cook until it's golden brown on both sides, about 1-2 minutes each side.
- Watch these closely so they do not burn.
- When they are done, just remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel.
