Something a bit different this month and particularly easy to make

INGREDIENTS

2  Egg whites

½ Cup of Confectioner's Sugar

½ Teaspoon of Vanilla Essence

4  oz (100g) of Shredded Coconut

Method

(1) Place egg whites into a bowl and beat until stiff, gradually adding sugar

(2) Add vanilla essence and beat again until light and smooth

(3) Carefully stir in the shredded coconut

(4) Drop spoonfuls of the resulting mixture onto greased baking sheets

(5) Bake at 140ºC /275ºF (Gas Mark 4) for about 40 minutes, until macaroons are delicately browned around edges

The ingredients above will make approximately 6 good sized biscuits which will keep moist for ages if kept in a sealed tin, They are so nice however that they won't last long enough for that.  Enjoy!
