Mon Cherie, Coconut Petit Fours for you!
“My, what lovely coconuts you have over there!” Imagine using that as a pick-up line! You would probably have received a prompt *slap* in the face! On the other hand however, if you happened to say “Mon Cheri, you simply must try these Coconut Petit Fours.They are divine!”, you would in all likeliness have someone swooning over you, after they taste these little treats! So simple to make and yet, to the untrained eye, you could easily pass them off as hours of hard-labour in the kitchen!
So put on your cooking hats and prepare to dazzle someone!
Coconut Petit Fours
Ingredients: 2 ¼ cup dessicated coconut, ¾ cup caster sugar, 2 tbsp self-raising flour sifted, 1 egg beaten, ¼ cup milk, ½ tsp vanilla essence
Steps: Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Mix together coconut, sugar and sifted self-raising flour in a bowl. Stir in the egg, then milk and vanilla essence. Mix until well combined. Take tablespoonfuls of mixture and make firm round balls. Place on a tray lined with baking paper and bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
On the other hand, why wait to impress someone with these treats when you could easily make them for yourself! After all, nothing beats a soothing hot tea after a hard days work, except for a soothing hot tea PLUS a baked treat on the side!

P.S. Are these an alter-ego for coconut macaroons?
The coconut petit fours do taste very similar to coconut macaroons, I think the main difference between the two is the size.
