4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1/2 cup vegetable shortening

2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar

2 large eggs

1/4 cup buttermilk

1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer at medium speed, cream together butter, shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs blend well. Stir in flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk until just mixed. Fold in coconut. Cover and chill for a minimum of 2 hours.
