["Grease 3 oven or cookie trays.", "Preheat oven to 180C (350F).", "Combine sifted flour, coconut and sugar in a large mixing bowl.", "Mix well.", "Make a well in the flour mixture and stir in melted butter and milk.", "Mix well.", "(Don't worry if the batter looks a bit crumbly.) Using your hands, shape, rather than roll, level tablespoons of the mixture into balls.", "(Don't worry if the balls aren't perfectly round).", "If the mixture seems too crumbly at this stage, add a tablespoon or two of milk to the batter, but be careful not to make it too wet- it should still look crumbly and the dough should just come together with the heat of your hands.", "Place balls about 7cm (3\") apart on oven trays.""
