EASY PEACHARINE COCONUT TART

peacharine pie

Method

  • Dough In a large bowl mix together the salt and flour
  • Add the butter and using your finger tips, mix into the flour until you get a fine sandy texture
  • Add the water and quickly mix with your hands to form a dough being careful to not over work the dough
  • Flatten the dough slightly, wrap in cling film, and rest for 1 hour in the fridge
  • This helps the gluten in the dough to relax and to lessen the chance of too much shrinkage when you bake the tart
  • Filling In a bowl, mix together the coconut, cornflour and melted butter
  • In another bowl, beat the egg and sugar until pale
  • Pour the egg bowl into the coconut bowl and stir well to combine
  • Preheat the oven to 180c
  • Roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface into a circle and place on a baking tray
  • Prick the bottom with a fork and spread on the coconut leaving a free border
  • Place the peacherine wedges over the dough, and fold up the edges to the inside of the tart
  • Brush the folded edges with egg wash and sprinkle with raw or Demerara sugar  Bake for 30 minutes or until it is nicely golden on top
  • Remove from the oven and if you can resist, let it cool on a rack before serving with lashings of clotted or whipped cream
