My brother Anurag, absolutely loves coconut macaroons, so when my dad was on his way to visit Anurag, I decided to surprise him by making a batch of these moist and moorish delights. I'm sure they are not as great as the godiva ones he usually buys, but hey, they are good!
Ingredients: (makes 8-10 macaroons)
110gm desiccated coconut
75 gm caster sugar
1 egg white
Method:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C.
2. Whisk the egg white till peaks form. If using an electric whisk, it'll take about 2 minutes.
3. Add the caster sugar and whisk again to mix it well.
4. Add the desiccated coconut to the egg and sugar mixture and mix well. The end mixture should be sticky, and still firm.
5. Roll the mixture into tablespoon size balls, and place on a baking tray lined with parchment (butter) paper. Flatten it slightly with your fingers or a fork.
6. Cook for 10 minutes or until golden.
7. Cool on a wire rack
These will stay fresh for 2 days.....enjoy!
