Coconut Slice

Had a big night of baking last night in preparation for Mother's Day today (Happy Mother's Day, Mum!). One of the recipes I decided to try was coconut slice. I think I was a little heavy handed with the condensed milk for the topping, however, as it is really sticky and slides off the slice a little, but even still, it tastes yummy.

Slice:

4 oz butter

½ cup sugar

1 tablespoon golden syrup

1 cup S.R Flour

¾ cup coconut

Cream butter and sugar. Add syrup, then flour and coconut. Blend well. Spread into a 11x7 inch tray. Bake 15-20 minutes in moderate oven.

Topping:

½ cup condensed milk

2 oz butter

1 cup icing sugar

1 cup coconut

Melt butter and mix altogether. Spread over slice.
