delicious coconut muffins with sugar glaze

Preheat the oven to 180°C and place about 12 paper baking cups into the holes in the muffin tin. Cream the butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Combine half the sugar, the whole eggs, the flour mixed with the baking powder, and the milk. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Stir in the remaining sugar and the desiccated coconut. Fold this mixture into the batter. Pour the batter into the paper baking cups and bake for about 15-20 minutes, until the muffins have risen nicely. Once the muffins have cooled, mix the powdered sugar with a little water to make a glaze and brush over the muffins, then sprinkle with desiccated coconut.
