Homemade Sweet Appetizer

  1. First, make the dough: Sift the flour into a large bowl.
  2. Add salt.
  3. Mix.
  4. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  5. Next add approximately 1/2 of the beaten egg yolk and the water.
  6. Mix well using your hands.
  7. Try to work quickly.
  8. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 10 -15 minutes.
  9. Put your desiccated coconut in a heatproof bowl.
  10. Set aside for a moment.
  11. Next, in a thick bottomed pan, put coconut pani, cinnamon and sugar and bring to boil (you need it to be around 100C degrees so use a thermometer).
  12. Then add the hot pani mixture to the desiccated coconut and mix well.
  13. Let cool.
  14. Now take the dough and roll out into a large square that is about 18 inch thick, using a rolling pin.
  15. Cut it into 8 squares (3x3 inch) using a sharp knife.
  16. If you want to decorate the tops of the appetizers with extra pieces of dough, you can make the squares just a bit smaller and save the extra dough for use in a few minutes.
  17. Now place one teaspoon of filling mixture in the center of each square of dough.
  18. Brush the edges of each square with the remaining 1/2 of the beaten egg yolk or you can use water.
  19. Fold the bottom half of the dough over to meet the edges of the top half (you are making a triangle).
  20. Use a fork to seal the edges.
  21. After that, you can decorate the pastry with small flowers or whatever is your preferred shape.
  22. Ive done this in the photo above you can use scraps of the dough and cut out small flowers (using a small flower cookie cutter or a knife) and then place the flowers on the tops of the appetizers.
  23. Next place appetizers on greased baking tray, and take the remaining 1/2 of the beaten egg and brush over the tops.
  24. Bake at 200 cup for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  25. Enjoy.
