COCONUT MACAROONS

Over the years, I have tried many different combinations of ingredients to perfect the coconut macaroon. This recipe comes close. Ingredients.......2 egg whites, 150gm of castor sugar, 1/2 tsp of cornflour, 125gm of desiccated coconut, vanilla extract. Preheat your oven to 140deg C. Grease a baking tray and line with baking paper. In the bowl of your mixer , beat the egg whites until they are stiff. Gradually add the castor sugar, beating afterv each addition. Fold in the cornflour. Place the mixture in a heatproof bowl and beat over a saucepan of boiling water, until the mixture begins to cook on the bottom of the basin. Fold in the coconut and vanilla extract. Place teaspoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
