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.
