I grew up eating these and have made them since I was an adult. My husband is Samoan and we have these all the time though never with coconut powder - always with one can of coconut milk and I add about 1/4 c of cornstarch not the teaspoon. It is quite common to freeze the dough in advance and then thaw it when you're ready to let it rise. Hope that helps those who are looking for the powder and can't find it. Any main grocery store has canned coconut milk available in the Asian section of the grocery store including Wal-marts.
