Yield: 3 Servings

MMMMM---------------------------PASTRY--------------------------------
2 c Self-raising flour
1 ts Baking powder
150 ml Castor sugar
pn Salt
1/2 c Butter; in cubes
3 Egg yolks
Splash of cold water

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
2 lg Egg whites
1 c Sugar
1 ts Vanilla essence
2 c Desiccated coconut
150 ml Apricot jam

First up, set your oven @ 180ºC/360ºF and grease a
muffin baking tin.

Next, sieve the flour, baking powder, castor sugar and
salt into a large mixing bowl. Using your fingertips,
rub the butter into the flour until crumbly. Add the egg
yolks and water, mix and put the dough on a clean,
floured surface. Knead the dough until smooth. Pop it
back into the mixing bowl, cover with cling wrap and
leave to rest for about 20 minutes. While the dough is
sleeping, make the meringue.

Whisk the egg whites to form soft peaks, then slowly add
the sugar and vanilla essence, whisking continuously.
Fold in the coconut and set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough until
it’s about 5 mm thick. Grab a cookie cutter if you have
one (or a cup if you don’t) and cut out pastry circles,
then one by one, line each hollow of the muffin tray.
Spoon apricot jam on top of the pastry, and top it with
the meringue.

Pop the tarts into the oven and bake for 20 to 25
minutes until golden, allow to cool slightly, then
carefully lift them out the tray and onto a cooling
rack. Store in an airtight container. They should last
about a week, but they’re so tasty they probably won’t.
