Ingredients:
- 90 g bread crumb (white)
- 180 g fresh shredded coconut
- 45 g Melted Margarine (or butter)
- 70 g fine sugar
- 30 g water (2 Tbsp)
Instructions:
1 Toast 90 g of white bread crumb with a dry pan, use medium-low heat, and stir continuously until golden brown. Toasting time is about 5-8 minutes.
