Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup grated coconut
2 cloves , grounded
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 recipe flaky pastry
Beaten egg

Steps:

  • 1. In a shallow saucepan add sugar and coconut and cook over medium heat until mixture starts to bubble. The mixture will water a little. Add spices and continue to stir until the mixture comes together, about 20 to 30 minutes. Add a little water to prevent sticking. Remove and cool.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Roll out pastry to about a quarter inch thick, cut out a four-inch diameter round. Place 1 Tbsp. of filling on the bottom portion of the pastry, leaving an edge of 1/4-inch around the filling. Bring the top portion over the coconut to cover it, crimp edges and seal with a fork. Repeat until all the pastry and coconut is used.
  • 3. Brush with beaten egg and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
