     1/4   c            Seedless raisins
   3       c            All-purpose flour
   1       pn           Salt
   1       c            Sugar

   1       tb           Baking powder

  In a large bowl, combine the coconut and sugar.  In
  another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla,
  cinnamon, raisins, and butter.  Stir this mixture into
  the grated coconut.  Sift in the flour, baking powder,
  and salt. Combine, mixing until smooth.  Pour the
  batter into 2 greased 9-inch loaf pans, and bake in a
  preheated 350 deg. F. oven for 1 hour, or until a
  tester comes out clean.  Set the pans on wire racks to
  cool for 10 minutes.  Remove the breads from the pans
  and continue cooling on the wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves
  * Store bought grated coconut will not give this bread
  the moistness that freshly grated coconut will.
