Powda Bon (Powder Bun) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups unbleached flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 pinch salt
    1/3 cup brown sugar (regular brown sugar, raw, demerara, muscovado, turbinado)
    1/3 cup unbleached cane sugar
    1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
    2 tablespoons butter (I used a combination of butter and coconut oil but original recipe specified shortening) or 2 tablespoons coconut oil (I used a combination of butter and coconut oil but original recipe specified shortening)
    1/2 cup coconut milk (can use regular milk)
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1/4 cup raisins (we subbed dried cranberries because someone in our household does not like raisins)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    In a large mixing bowl sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
    Stir in both sugars and nutmeg.
    Cut in the butter/shortening and/or coconut oil.
    Combine the coconut milk and vanilla and stir in the bowl with the flour *just* until moistened. DO NOT overmix the batter! Stir in the raisins.
    Roll into equal size balls and [slightly] flatten.
    Arrange on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake about 20 minutes or until golden brown. We liked our powda bons with a drizzle of agave.
