Gurudi (Nigerian Coconut Biscuit)

Gurudi, also called gurundi, is a Nigerian coconut biscuit made from finely-grated coconut, cassava starch, and sugar.

Ingredients

• 1 fresh coconut
• 65 g white sugar
• 80 g cassava starch
• 1 pinch nutmeg

Steps

1. Gently crack open the coconut, and separate the meat from the shell. Use a grater or food processor to shred the coconut.
2. Combine the grated coconut, sugar, cassava starch, and nutmeg. Stir in water until it forms a dough ball.
3. Roll out the dough until thin. Cut out square biscuits, and transfer them to a buttered baking tray.
4. Bake the biscuits for about 20–25 minutes at 150°C (300°F) until golden brown and crisped.
5. Remove the biscuits from the oven, and let cool.
