This is a traditional Belizean dish that is often served with coffee for breakfast.
Ingredients:
flesh of 1 coconut, grated (or 250g desiccated coconut)
3 eggs
200ml evaporated milk
1 tsp freshly-grated
nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla extract
450g
sweet shortcrust pastry
Method:
Roll out the pastry on a lightly-floured surface then cut out into rounds using a plate about 10cm in diameter as a guide. Transfer the pastry rounds onto a greased baking tray.
Meanwhile, beat the eggs and combine with the nutmeg, evaporated milk, vanilla extract and coconut. Mix thoroughly then spoon a little of the mixture onto each pastry round. Turn in the edges of the pastry to form a lip then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 220°C. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the coconut filling is firm. Allow to cool completely before serving.
