Hilda & Whitney's Slice

Hilda & Whitney's Slice

(I call it that because Hilda gave me the recipe - so you all have to call it Whitney's slice!)

1 cup sr flour

1 cup sugar

1 cup coconut

1 cup dried fruit (tropical fruit medley is nice, but use whatever you've got. I've even added some chopped almonds and choc chips if I run out of fruit)

1 egg

125 g melted butter

splash vanilla

mix all ingredients together, lightly press into 18cm x 28 cm lamington pan, bake at 180 for 25 - 30 ins (until slightly firm)

Doesn't need icing.

This slice doesn't look like much, but it is sooo delicious - you will definitely be asked for the recipe.

Coconut Chocolate Slice

Coconut Chocolate Slice

1/2 cup sr flour

1/2 cup plain flour

2 Tblspns cocoa

2/3 cup caster sugar

3/4 cup dessicated coconut

125 g melted butter

1 egg

splash vanilla

sift flours and cocoa (if you like - i can't always be bothered).

mix all ingredients together, lightly press into 18cm x 28 cm lamington pan, bake at 180 for 25 - 30 ins (until slightly firm)

cool, ice with chocolate icing and sprinkle with toasted coconut (or 100s and 1000s!!)

Coconut Ice

Coconut Ice

2 cups sugar

½ cup milk

¾ cup coconut

1 teaspoon butter.

Boil the sugar and milk for five minutes, stirring slowly.

Add butter and coconut and boil for one minute.

Remove from fire, beat to a cream and then pour into dish.

They say a wet dish. I use baking paper.

I do this recipe twice. The first, as it, will cover the bottom of a 18 x 27cm lamington tin.

The second time I add pink colouring to make the second layer.

I really don’t like anyone else’s coconut slice. I especially don’t like the condensed milk ones!
