English Translation

Ingredients:

180g wholemeal flour
180g plain flour
90g butter
90g lard
45ml cold water

For the Filling:
225g apricot jam
225g butter
225g fine oatmeal
225g Demerara sugar
225g grated coconut
almond essence

Method:

Combine the flours in a bowl then cut the butter and lard into fine dice. Add to the flour mix and rub in with your fingers until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add just enough water to bring the mixture together as a fine dough then turn onto a lightly-floured work surface. Roll out so the pastry is large enough to cover the base of a 25cm diameter pastry case.

Spread the apricot jam over the base. Meanwhile add the butter and sugar to a saucepan. Heat gently until melted and combine then take off the heat and add the oatmeal, coconut and almond essence. Beat to combine then spread evenly in the pastry shell. Place in an oven pre-heated to 190°C and bake for aobut 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden.

Allow the pie to cool then cut into fingers before serving.
