Tart (Cocoa-nut), Another Way

Source: Hildagonda J. Duckitt, 1891

Instructions

  1. Grate the cocoa-nut very fine and take its weight in sugar.
  2. Add half an ounce of butter, a single egg with the white and yolk whisked separately, and some cinnamon. Mix well together.
  3. Line a tart-dish — an ordinary tin kitchen plate will do — with puff paste.
  4. Bake in a quick oven till a nice brown.
  5. Another way is to boil the cocoa-nut in a syrup made from the sugar, and when cold add the egg and butter; but the first has been tried and is very good.
