It was a sweet flashback from my childhood, since it was one of my favorite pastries then.
Ingredients:
- 4 egg whites
- 2 egg yolkes
- 250 grams of sugar
- 250 grams shredded coconut
- 1/2 spoon of yeast
Step 1: Crack 4 eggs and keep 2 yolks in a tupperware for another recipe, and put the 4 egg whites in a large bowl and 2 yolks in another bowl. In the large bowl beat the 4 egg whites to form peaks until it gets very frothy and white as snow. Then add little by little the 2 yolks previously beaten. Keep beating with a fork and add a little more than a cup of sugar little by little. Then add little by little 2.75 cups of shredded coconut, the star ingredient, and a little package of yeast. Keep beating and then knead it trying to keep it a little solid. Step 2: In a pizza tray set wax baking paper and on it put little meatballs of the mixture, made with your hands moist from tap water. The oven should be previously programmed to baking at 410 degrees Farenheit. After 10 minutes inside take it out seeing that they were golden. It´s very delicious and even more so the next two days when the flavors come together. It is recommended that you eat them quickly, I mean in the following 2 or 3 days, which is not really that much of a sacrifice ;), so that they don´t get hard and you enjoy the juicy core.
