Coconut Raspberry Slice

Ingredients:

My kids love this slice so much, I've had to inform their girlfriends over the years that my sons can't get married until their prospective brides-to-be learn how to cook this one. (Well, this is just the beginning of the repertoire).

6 Tablespoons butter

2 eggs

Salt

1 cup coconut

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 1/2 cups self-raising flour

Raspberry Jam (or any jam you prefer really)

Method:

Beat butter and 1/2 cup sugar to a cream.

Add 1 beaten egg.

Sift in flour and salt.

Butter a flat square cake tine, put mixture in, work out flat with fingers.

Spread thinly with a layer of jam.

In a bowl, beat 1 egg, cup of sugar, cup of coconut and spread on top of the jam layer with a fork.

Bake for 15 minutes in a moderate oven.

While still warm, cut into squares and place into airtight container. Good for a week.
