In a medium bowl mix together, flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder & salt.

Add 1/2 cup virgin coconut oil. If you can't find coconut oil you can use shortening instead. Trust me it is worth finding the coconut oil.

Using a pastry cutter cut in coconut oil until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Put 1/2 cup of mixture into a small bowl. Add remaining2 tbsp of sugar & cinnamon & set aside.

In a small saucepan warm up but don't boil coconut milk. When it is just steaming a little pour into flour mixture & add beaten egg.

Stir until just combined.
