Coconut Slice


Wednesday is a good day for baking because it's my day off. I found this really easy peasy recipe online at the www.bestrecipes.com.au. But for those of you who can't be bothered doing a google search - KIDDING!!! here it is. Hubby came home, tasted a piece and then hid the rest away.

Ingredients:
125grams Butter
100grams Sugar (about half a cup)
1 Egg
1 1/2 Cups of Self-Raising Flour OR add one slightly heaped tsp of Baking Powder
Raspberry Jam ( I used plum because child no.2 only likes this flavour)

Topping:
1 C of Shredded Coconut (just what ever you have in the pantry)
1/2 C Sugar
1 Egg
Juice of one lemon

Method:
1. Melt butter in a bowl
2. Add sugar and stir well
3. Add egg then flour
4. Stir until mixture forms a ball of soft dough (if its too soft add a bit more flour)
5. Press into shallow tin OR improvise with what you have
6. Spread liberally with jam
7. Topping: using the same bowl mix all ingredients together and spread over base. The jam will be visible underneath
8. Bake for around 20mins OR until nicely browned
