This very affordable, quick and easy recipe, which has been around for hundreds of years. It is not only tasty but delicious with a cup of Cornish tea.
Ingredients:
160g Self Raising Flour
80g Stork With Butter, softened
2 tsp Almond Essence
2 tbsp Desiccated Coconut
1 Large Free Range Egg, beaten
80g Golden Caster Sugar
Raspberry Jam ( recipe can be found on my website )
Method:
1. Firstly pre-heat the oven to 200c then whisk the butter and flour together, until you get fine breadcrumbs.
Then add the sugar and mix in.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add this liquid to the flour, then add in the almond essence, coconut, butter and sugar. Now combine together until you the mixture becomes a dough.
3. Next divide the dough into equal dough balls. Arrange the balls on a baking tray, lined with parchment paper leaving a gap of about 4cm apart.
Then make a finger dent in each one and fill it with a heaped teaspoon of raspberry jam. Then sprinkle with caster sugar and bake in the centre of the oven for 10-15 minutes.
4. Next place the drops onto a wire rack to cool completely. These will store well for 2 days in an air tight container in a cool place. Ansom.
