Ingredients:
2 cups flour

1. Sieve the flour, salt and baking powder together. Rub the margarine in with your fingertips.
2. Add the egg yolk and the sugar. Mix and let is rest for about 15 minutes.

4. Place a small teaspoon of apricot jam in on top of the dough.
Filling:Â
1. Beat the white of the eggs well together.
2. Add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 cup of desiccated coconut to the egg whites and mix.
3. Place a spoon full of this on the top of the apricot jam.
4. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C for 10-20 minutes.
