STEP 1Preheat oven to 190C. Prepare 16-18 patty tins.
STEP 2Sift the plain flour and salt in a bowl. Rub in butter lightly and stir in sugar; add the egg yolk and enough water to mix to a firm dough. Turn onto floured board and knead lightly. Roll out, cut large rounds and line patty tins. Put a little jam in each.
STEP 3Cream the margarine and the sugar together and beat in the egg a little at a time. Fold in the coconut and self-raising flour and add a little water if necessary, to give a soft dropping consistency.
STEP 4Place spoonfuls in the lined patty tins and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and firm to the touch.
Notes
You can make a fancy edge to the pastry if you wish.
