BLUEBERRY-COCONUT TARTLETS

Ingredients         
Flour – 1 lb.
Toasted shredded coconut, divided – 8 oz.
Baking powder – 1/6 oz.
Unsalted butter – 1 lb.
Water – 4 oz.
Condensed milk – 3 lbs., 8 oz.
Eggs, lightly beaten – 12 oz.
Blueberries – 2 lbs., 8 oz.

Method:
1. Prepare the crust by combining flour, 1/3 of the coconut and baking powder. Add butter to form coarse crumbs. Add just enough water to form dough.   Chill at least 30 minutes. 
2. Place pastry in 3-inch tartlet pans.  Bake at 400 F for about 10 minutes. Cool.
