Coconut Tea Cakes

Ingredients

• 1 sheet (about 14 oz) Puff pastry or plain pastry (Can use store-bought puff pastry or homemade plain pastry)
• 1 Egg white (Lightly beaten)
• 1 cup Shredded coconut (Sweetened or unsweetened, as desired)

Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry or plain pastry to about 1/4 inch thickness.
2. 2Use a lady-finger cutter (or any small cookie cutter) to cut out shapes from the pastry. Place the shapes on the prepared baking sheet.
3. 3Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly for 2 minutes.
4. 4Brush the tops of the slightly cooled tea cakes with beaten egg white. Sprinkle generously with shredded coconut.
5. 5Return the tea cakes to the oven and bake for another 3-5 minutes, or until the coconut is lightly toasted. Let cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
