  • 3/4 cup Plain flour, sifted
  • 1/2 cup Coconut
  • Filling:
  • Raspberry or other jam
  • 60 gram Butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup Icing sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla
  • 2 tsp Milk

Method

  1. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, beat well. Add sifted dry ingredients and coconut, mix well.
  2. Rolls teaspoons of mixture into balls and then flatten onto greased trays. Rough up surface with the back of a fork. Bake on 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Notes

Make sure the biscuits are fairly flat before baking as they will rise. If you are a novice baker, allow approximately 10 minutes more to roll your dough and flatten.

  • Sounds lovely, perfect with a cuppa at morning tea.

  • Monte Carlo may be a legally registered name. I’m a bit concerned whether or not other people are allowed to publish recipes with the same name. You will notice products with similar ingredients but different manufacturers have slightly different names.
