Trancetti con cocco e marmellata – Jam slice by Donna Hay

English Version below.

Questa ricetta doveva arrivare per la raccolta Christmas Recipes, ma come giustamente qualcuno mi ha fatto notare (ciao Alice, Giorgio e Federico :-)), quest’anno ho un po’ battuto la fiacca sul pre-Christmas e allora eccomi in ritardo con dei trancetti buonissimi e decisamente easy.

La ricetta è della food stylist che ha saputo creare un impero, Donna Hay, ed è tratta da “Modern Classic 2” un libro favoloso del 2003, ma ancora attualissimo!

Ingredienti

Ingredients

125g butter
75g caster sugar
125g plain flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg yolk
orange marmalade, I used this one with oranges and sugar cane, but if you don’t like orange marmalade, choose your favourite one.

topping
112g caster sugar
1 egg lightly beaten
80 desiccated coconut

Preheat the oven to 180°. Process the butter, sugar, flour and baking powder in a food processor until combined.
Add the egg yolk and continue to process until the mixture forms a soft dough.
Press into a slice tin lined with a non-stick baking paper.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the base is golden-brown. Allow to cool then spread with the orange marmalade.

To make the topping, combine the sugar, egg and coconut. Sprinkle over the jam. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden. Cut into slices.
