Beehives image

These were our favourite after-school treat in the 1960's - lovingly made by our grandma. Just three simple ingredients and hardly any preparation. Not only do these luscious treats look like beehives - you'd swear they had honey in them. After keeping for a while they might weep a little sticky liquid through the bottom - but don't worry, this makes them taste even yummier.

Time 25m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 large egg
1 cup white sugar
2 cups desiccated coconut

Steps:

  • Set oven to moderate 180°C (350°F).
  • Grease a baking (cookie) sheet.
  • Break egg into a small mixing bowl and beat until it is thick and pale lemon coloured and the beaters leave a 'trail' through the mixture.
  • Gradually add the sugar, beating well after each addition.
  • Fold in the coconut.
  • Now, spoon some of the mixture into an egg cup (or a glass of a similar shape and size).
  • DO *NOT* PRESS DOWN FIRMLY - merely tap very lightly with one finger just to smooth it off.
  • Then, turn the egg cup upside down over the baking sheet and, holding it very slightly above the surface, tap the side sharply with a knife to release the mixture onto the sheet.
  • Repeat.
  • Bake on the centre shelf of a pre-heated 180°C (350°F) oven for 15-20 minutes or until beehives are golden brown.
  • Remove from oven when cooked and gently use a knife to loosen the beehives from the baking sheet.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • When cool, store in an airtight biscuit (cookie) tin.

I'm not a huge fan of biscuits, but I loved these Beehives. The biscuits were flaky and buttery, and the sausage filling was flavorful and juicy.
