Ingredients:
- 2 Eggs
- ½ tsp Salt
- 4 tbsp Milk
- 225 gms Butter
- 115 gms Plain Flour
- ½ tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp ground Cinnamon
- 1½ tsp Vanilla Essence
- 85 gms Coconut, shredded
- 55 gms Dark Brown sugar
- 170 gms Quick cooking Oats
- 115 gms Castor Sugar
Method:
- Preheat a 400 degrees F/200 degrees C/Gas 6 oven. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
- Spread the oats and coconut on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- With an electric mixer, cream the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the milk and vanilla. Sift over the dry ingredients and fold in. Stir in the oats and coconut.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture 1-2 in (2.5-5 cm) apart on the prepared sheets and flatters with the bottom of a greased glass dipped in sugar. Bake until golden, 8-12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
Tip: To keep holes and tunnels out of your cake, run a knife through the batter after you have finished mixing it. This removes air holes.
