Will not adding the coconut affect the buns?
Hi Bea: Thank you for your message and for stopping by…I’m not sure what your question is. But it sounds like you are asking if the coconut when removed change the texture of the buns. What you will need to do is if you remove the coconut you will need to adjust the liquid. By only add so much at a time while mixing the batter and having a soft texture NOT a wet textured batter. I hope this makes good sense to you and enjoy our recipe to the fullest!! Bonita
