    OOOOOOOOOOh that's given me an idea JackieG. I have loads of toastabags (they are 2 for £1 in poundland.) I could cut them down the sides and use instead of greaseproof. They are used to heat and non stick. Fine for smaller cakes I think ...goes off to Tesco for condensed milk.

    You're welcome! I found condensed milk in HB last week for 78p a tin!! Almonst half the price of the Nestle one, but equally scrumptious!

    I really fancy making some of these later, they look lovely!

    I don't want to make a lot of macaroons though so if I used half a tin of condensed milk could I freeze the other half?

    HomeBargains, B&M Bargains, Poundland often have silicon baking sheets made by the Toast-a-bag people. They're really good and nothing sticks to them.

    Hiya

    No recipe as such, but I do it by trial and error. :o All you need is a beaten egg, dessicated coconut and sugar. I tend to just add the sugar and coconut in vaguely even quantities until it gets to a reasonably 'solid' consistency.
    Then use either a spoon or egg cup to portion and shape them and turn them out onto a grease proof paper lined tray (or greased) and pop in the oven (elec 200*C or so) for 10 mins and check. If they look and smell nice, and aren't squidgy, they're done.
    You can adjust the quantities next time if you want them sweeter/less sweet/more moist....assuming you can remember what you you the first time!

    It's really easy, I have this 'recipe' from my gran. She showed me how to make them when i was about 8......about 20yrs ago! Plus, they're not going to turn out horrible if you get the quantities a bit wrong! :)

    I'm sure someone else will be along soon with a proper recipe though, if you don't fancy 'winging it'!

    :D

    Hi goodgodthatonesevenbigger,

    There's an earlier thread that should help so I've added your thread to it to keep the recipes together.
