I was requested to make some Coconut Tarts a few weeks ago, and thought I'd give them a go as I'd never made them before.

Let's get baking!

Ingredients:

125g plain flour

1 pinch salt

60g butter

1 tsp caster sugar

1 egg yolk

1/2 cup water

Filling:

1 cup raspberry jam

60g margarine

60g caster sugar

1 egg, beaten

60g desiccated coconut

30g self-raising flour, sifted

Start off by pre-heating your oven to 190C. Then prepare your baking tins (muffin/cupcake).

Sift the plain flour and salt into a bowl, then rub in the butter, I do it till their like breadcrumbs.

Next stir in the sugar.

Next add the egg yolk and enough water to mix a firm dough. Don't worry if you add too much water and it's sticky, just add a more flour, a little at a time to firm up the dough.

When ready, turn onto a floured surface and knead lightly, then roll out.

Cut large rounds and line the tin.

Put a little jam into each.

Next cream together the margarine and sugar.

Beat in the egg a little at a time.

Fold in the coconut and self-raising flour, add a little water if necessary to give a soft dropping consistency.

Place spoonful's into the lined tins and then bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden and firm to the touch.

Once ready, tuck in and enjoy.

I didn't get to try one but I can vouch for the fact that they smelt really nice. The people that did try them though said they were really nice and that they enjoyed them.

It was a really easy recipe to follow and make, even if I hate making pastry.

See you soon!
