Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C
  2. Mix the caster sugar and desiccated coconut in a bowl.
  3. Beat the egg in another bowl.
  4. Add the egg (and food colouring if using) to the dry ingredients, and stir until evenly mixed.
  5. Form into 6 or 7 pyramids using your hands or an egg cup, and place on a lined baking sheet (or use cupcake cases).
