About Coconut Turnovers
Barbados.org presents Bajan coconut turnovers as a local bakery favourite. These yeasty buns have a mildly sweet dough enriched with milk and butter around a generous coconut filling.
Fresh grated coconut, sugar, allspice, cinnamon and almond essence give the centre its sweet, spiced character. The filling has the moist, gooey texture described by the publisher.
The small loaf-shaped buns have a sugary finish of brown sugar and sugar glaze. They are served warm, with a cup of tea among the suggested accompaniments.
