Ingredients
- 400g desiccated coconut
- 85g Fairtrade caster sugar
- 200ml water
- FOR THE DOUGH
- 450g Co-op plain white flour, plus extra for dusting
- 45ml Co-op vegetable oil, plus 1 litre extra for deep frying
- 225-250ml water
Method
- First, make the filling
- Put the coconut and sugar, plus 200ml water, in a pan and mix together
- Simmer on a low-medium heat for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has reduced
- Leave to cool
- To make the dough, sift the flour into a bowl
- Make a well in the centre and add the oil
- Mix well with a spoon, then add water a little at a time until the dough starts to come together (you’ll need around 225-250ml water for this)
- Turn it out onto your work surface and knead for a few minutes, adding more water as necessary
- Dust your work surface with flour, then roll the dough out to a thickness of about 3mm
- Cut out as many circles as you can with a 9cm cookie cutter or the top of a glass, then re-roll the dough and use up the rest
- Fill each circle with a little of the coconut filling (be careful not to overfill), then fold the dough over into a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal
- Crimp or twist the edges into a pattern
- Heat the oil in a deep fat fryer or in a deep pan to 180°C — a piece of bread will turn golden in about 60 seconds (make sure the pan is attended at all times and do not overheat the oil)
- Fry in batches until golden on both sides
- Leave to cool before serving
