Tejas Biscuits
Ingredients
- 100 grams of melted butter
- 100 grams of egg whites
- 40 grams of shredded coconut
- 70 grams of cornstarch
- 100 grams of powdered sugar
- a pinch of salt
Method
-
We prepare this recipe ahead of time to let the dough rest. First, melt the butter and, while still warm, mix it with the egg whites.
-
Add the shredded coconut, cornstarch, sugar, and a pinch of salt, and mix well. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for an hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 170°C fan-assisted to warm it up. Line the baking sheet with baking paper.
-
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and, using a spoon, place thin circles, leaving space between them. Make several baking sheets if necessary.
-
Bake the tiles carefully because they bake very quickly, and each oven can vary the time. In mine, they're done in about eight minutes.
-
When the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the centers are cooked, remove them and let them cool. Then we put them on a rack so they stay crispy, although if you want to shape them into a tile, you'll have to place them on a rolling pin or a bottle while they're still hot.
