• 3/4 cup caster sugar
• 1/2 cup oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 1/2 cups dessicated coconut
• 2 1/2 cups plain flour (Add more if needed to make dough firm, but be careful not to add too much, just enough to roll it out.)

Method

1. Recite Bismillah.

4. Add the eggs & vanilla & beat.
5. Add the coconut & sifted dry ingredients to make a soft dough. Never add all the flour all at once. You may need less or you may even need more than stated.
6. Roll out dough & cut into oval shapes.
