Coconut Almond Bites

Hello! 

It's tea time and here is a quick recipe for coconut lovers. Coconut and almond bites! Here we go..

You will need,

Ingredients 

One cup of dessicated coconut flakes

8 tablespoons of all-purpose flour

5 tablespoons of white sugar 

Almond Extract (or vanilla)

One egg

Chilled knob of unsalted butter

Half a teaspoon of baking powder

Some milk if needed

Baking sheet

Caster sugar for serving

Method

1. Preheat oven at 150 degrees C.

2. Combine dry ingredients (flour, sugar, coconut flakes and baking powder)

 3. When well combined using a hand-held blender, add the butter, egg and almond extract. Mix until the mixture is like a pastry dough. It should be a little bit sticky.

 4. If there are dry pieces remaining in the bowl you can just add little amounts of milk at a time while mixing with a fork. In this way you are combining all ingredients well.

5. Using a ice-cream scoop or simply a spoon distribute the mixture into small balls onto the baking sheet making sure they don't touch. 

6. Bake at 150 degrees C for about 15 minutes or until a slightly golden crust is achieved. 
7. Let cool and dust with some caster sugar! 

Have a bite! 

Easy right? :)

Enjoy!
