COCONUT BOUCHÉES

PREPARATION

Makes: 8

Prep. time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes


I made these bouchées following my visit on Manu B's blog. I found these cannelés very appetising and quick to make. They are superb and terribly tasty.

INGREDIENTS

  • 200 gr grated coconut,
  • 120 gr cane sugar,
  • 30 gr flour,
  • 2 eggs

METHOD

Mix all the ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous paste. The mixture obtained is crumbly, this is normal.

Fill 3/4 of the mixture into a silicone fluted mould.

Bake for 15 minutes in a hot oven at 210°C, fan oven.

Wait until the bouchées have cooled down before unmoulding them, they are fragile.

At the end of this time, spread it out on a lightly floured work surface. Using a heart-shaped and fluted cookie cutter, cut out the shortbread. Place them on a baking sheet in your oven covered with baking paper. Brush them with the remaining egg yolk. With a fork, draw diagonal stripes to decorate them.
