Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift flour and sugar together; cut
in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
Press into an 8-inch square baking pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Combine syrup, coconut and salt in a small saucepan. Cook for about 8
minutes, or until the coconut absorbs most of the syrup. Spread over
warm crust; bake for 10 minutes longer. Cut into bars.
