Base:
2 cups plain flour
1\/2 cup caster sugar
125g butter
1 egg
pinch salt
2 tsp vanilla essence<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Topping:
3\/4 cup raspberry jam
2 cups (c200g) desiccated coconut
1\/2 cup sugar
2 eggs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oven at 180\u00bac, and 10″ square pan lined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the base – rub the butter, sugar and flour into ‘breadcrumb’ consistancy. Add the egg, and pull into a dry-ish flaky dough – don’t overwork here – you don;t want a silky smooth pastry dough – it’ll get tough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spread over the bottom of the lined tin. blind bake for 15-20 mins till golden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whilst its still warm (but not fresh from the oven) spread the jam on top. Jam to the edges – it’ll stick in the pan lining a bit, but makes all peieces nicer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
for the coconut topping – beat the sugar and eggs till smooth abd shiny. Fold in the coconut and spread over the jammy base. Press it down so its flat and even. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bake for another 25 minutes until golden topped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let it cool in the pan completely, then cut into squares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notes –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
base is a bit heavy – maybe swap out for a shortbread, or maybe add some rice-flour? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I added more coconut and it was a bit too flakey – next time -50g coconut for a more together topping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
