Crisp Coconut Biscuits

Ingredient

1 cup caster sugar
125g butter
1 egg
2 cups self-raising flour
pinch salt
1 cup desiccated coconut
extra caster sugar for dipping (optional)

How to make

• Step 1: Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Cream the butter and the sugar until pale and creamy. 
• Step 2: Add the egg and mix until combined. 
• Step 4: Fold through the salt, flour and coconut. 
• Step 5: Roll into small balls (about the size of a truffle) and flatten out with your hands. 
• Step 6: Place your biscuits on 2 large baking trays lined with baking paper. Be sure that they are spaced well apart as they do spread quite a lot. 
• Step 7: Bake for 12-15 minutes until just starting to turn golden on the edges.
• Makes 35-40 biscuits.
