- 8
- Serves:
-
15-18
ingredients
-
Pastry
- 1 1⁄2 cups plain flour
- 100 g butter
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons water, approximately
-
Other Stuff
- 250 g jam (any kind, i.e.strawberry, apricot, raspberry, etc)
- 2 cups coconut (1 1/2 desiccated coconut, 1/2 shredded coconut)
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1⁄2 cup caster sugar
directions
- Preheat oven to 190°C.
- To make the pastry, sift the flour into a medium bowl. Rub the butter into the flour with fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs (this could also be done in a food processor).
- Add egg yolk to the flour mixture and enough water so that the ingredients can be pressed together to form a firm dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle large enough to cover the base of a slice tin (about 20x30cm). Place the dough into a lined slice tin and bake for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to stand for 10 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 180°C.
- Spread the jam evenly over the pastry base.
- Combine the coconut, eggs and sugar in a medium bowl and mix with a fork until all the coconut is moist.
- Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the jam (do not flatten mixture). Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow the slice to cool in the pan before cutting into slices.

Ofcourse this photo isn't actually me, but it's a pic i came across one day and just loved it!
Moving on...
I'm an Aussie girl and i absolutely love living here (in the food sense lol!) because it's so easy to access foods from all sorts of cultures and it's all so easily accessible! I work in a cafe which is quite fitting, and it's great because i'm around food all the time (and it's free...!). I do a heck of a lot of dancing and am about to enter year 12 (argh, exams and hard work!) so i do a lot of cooking as a way of relaxing. Also a bit of a healthy nut, and i don't tolerate dairy too well, so i'm always looking out for ways to make a recipe healthier and how to make it without dairy! I still enjoy cooking with everything (even if i don't eat it!) and most of the time it's passed onto the rest of the family (who are definitely happy with me doing the cooking fairly regularly!)
