Coconut Biscuits just like in my Secondary 1 days


I suddenly thought about the coconut biscuits we made during our Home Econs class back when I was 13, but since I no longer had my Home Econs text, I used my daughter’s and adapted it from there.  Tasted exactly like what I made years ago!  And David made it the traditional way, with a wooden spoon and no beater whatsoever :)

My adaptation:
100g flour
100g unsalted butter
50g caster sugar
3tbsp desiccated coconut
1 tbsp beaten egg

Cream butter and sugar with wooden spoon till pale.
Add egg and mix.
Fold in flour then dessicated coconut.
Bake in preheated 180 degrees C oven for 20 mins.

* Mine was turning brown at 15-min mark, maybe because my oven is hotter than normal.
Will make it a point to reduce my temp to 170 degrees C next time.
