500g. phyllo pastry sheets 1 cup unsalted butter, melted Filling 6 cups milk 1 1/4 cup fine semolina flour 6 egg yolks 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter Icing 4 cups confectioners sugar 2 Tablespoons lemon juice 2-4 Tablespoons cold water; Direction: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. To make the Filling, In a large saucepan, heat the milk over medium high heat until just boiling. Add the semolina flour and stir. Lower the heat to medium low. Using a whisk, beat the egg yolks with the sugar. Add a cup of the warmed milk into the egg mixture to temper and then add the egg yolk mixture to the pot. Continue to cook over medium low heat until the cream starts to thicken, stirring continuously. When the custard has thickened, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and the butter. Using a sharp knife, cut the sheets in to make two stacks of 9 13 inch sheets. To prevent drying, cover one stack with wax
paper and a damp paper towel while working with the other. Using a pastry brush, brush the bottom and sides of a 9 13 rectangular pan with butter. You will use approximately half the phyllo sheets for the bottom of the pastry. Begin by layering sheets one by one in the bottom of the pan, making sure to brush each one thoroughly with melted butter. When you have almost layered half the sheets, drape two sheets of phyllo so that they extend half in the pan and half out of the pan horizontally. Add the custard in an even layer on top of the sheets, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Fold the phyllo sheet flaps in over the custard layer. Add the remaining sheets on top, brushing each sheet with melted butter. Before baking, score the top layer of phyllo to enable easier cutting of pieces later. Bake for 45 minutes or until the phyllo turns a deep golden color. In a large bowl, Add confectioners sugar and combine with lemon juice, stir in enough water to make desired consistency then pour over still warm pastry. Let chill until set Jelly slice

500grams of butter ( room temperature) 1 cup of castor sugar 1tablespoon Vanilla essence 1 egg 4 cups of selfraising flour Filling 2 & 1/2 cups of fine coconut 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of water 2 sticks of cinnamon Vanilla essence For icing 2 cups of icing sugar +- 4 tbsp of milk 1 drop of pink food coloring 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder Method First do your coconut filling, in a small pot or saucepan, add the coconut, sugar, water and cinnamon and cook on medium heat for about ten minutes or until all the sugar and water has dissolved. Add vanilla essence, stir, and set
aside to allow mixture to cool. Dough With electric mixer whisk the butter and sugar for about 3 minutes till it s light and creamy, add the egg and vanilla essence and whisk for a further 2 minutes. Now add all the flour and mix it in with your hand till a dough forms. Do not be tempted to add more flour, this is a very soft dough. Cover with clingwrap and chill in fridge for an hour. On a floured surface roll out the dough to a 1 cm thickness, cut out with flour cookie cutter or round cookie cutter, make sure you dip the cookie cutter into some flour to prevent from sticking to dough. Butter/ grease your pan, this should be the hertzoggie pan or shell pan. Next spoon enough coconut mix on biscuit dough and pat it down to make it level, about 2 teaspoons. Now bake in a preheated oven on a 180 degrees for 10-12 minutes only. Take out to cool. You will get about 50 biscuits from this dough. Set aside and allow to cool a bit. Take biscuits from the pan using a butter knife. For the icing, mix the icing, vanilla essence and milk until you get a almost stiff like icing. Divide the icing into two small bowls. In the one you add the pink food coloring and stir well. In the other bowl of icing add the cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of milk and stir till well combined. As seen on picture. Spoon a half a teaspoons worth on each half side of the biscuit on top of the coconut. Allow the icing to run level. Allow to set. Tip -test your icing by topping one Biscuit first if your icing runs over just add a little more icing sugar and stir well and start again. Delicious!
