Total Time: 1 hr
Preparation Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Ingredients
- Servings: 15
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour
- 100 g butter
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons water, approximately
- 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
Recipe
- 1 preheat oven to 190°c.
- 2 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).
- 3 add egg yolk to the flour mixture and enough water so that the ingredients can be pressed together to form a firm dough.
- 4 turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth.
- 5 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.
- 6 reduce oven temperature to 180°c.
- 7 spread the jam evenly over the pastry base.
- 8 combine the coconut, eggs and sugar in a medium bowl and mix with a fork until all the coconut is moist.
- 9 spread the coconut mixture evenly over the jam (do not flatten mixture). bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- 10 allow the slice to cool in the pan before cutting into slices.
