This is a recipe from an old Sunset Desserts Cookbook, likely from the 1970’s, that was lost during a move. I searched high and low on the internet for this exact recipe, as I remembered it, to no avail. I finally found a copy of the recipe I had handwritten and placed in my mother’s very old cookbook many years ago. Eureka! I wanted to post it here, so that I wouldn’t lose it, and to share so others could enjoy them as well. I used to make these occasionally as a special treat for our family and for holidays and events. Rich and buttery with that wonderful coconut taste with a powdered sugar coating similar to wedding cookies. These are pretty simple to make and are “jr. chef assistant” friendly, especially for little hands to coat them in powdered sugar. Probably one of the best things about these cookies is that they are so great for a “make-ahead” cookie, as the dough is refrigerated and sliced, so you can break up the prep time into different days. Also, the baked cookies improve in flavor as they mature, so another “do-ahead” advantage. They are ideal for “care packages” to mail, if cushioned and packed securely, as they don’t go stale. I hope you enjoy these as much as our family and guests have 🙂
This is a recipe taken from a Delia Smith cookbook Once cooked, it will keep warm without coming to any harm, and it will also re-heat very successfully. And, yes, it does freeze well so, all in all, it’s a real winner of a recipe. It’s great because it can be made the day before and gently re-heated with no last-minute bother. It is a perfect accompaniment to venison, goose or pork (and if you have any left over it does wonders for bangers and mash).
A wonderful and very elegant dinner party dish, and one that will impress your family and friends! These little parcels can be made ahead of time and frozen uncooked. In France you can buy these ready made in most supermarkets and butchers – but these are so easy to make, that I often make my own. You can also use turkey or veal escalopes – the sauce remains the same. Serve these little parcels with seasonal vegetables, gratin potatoes or rice and pasta.
A tasty and refreshing salad. Nice to prepare ahead for company. An adaptation of a recipe from Marilyn Perzik on Allrecipes.com. I like to sprinkle the croutons on individual servings just before eating.
I got this from a lady who was a native of the island of Abaco in the Bahamas, she was the best cook on the island. It is better after it sits for a day or so. I use low fat mayo, but it’s really good with the real deal. I’m unsure of how much this actually makes, so the serving number is just a guess, but it makes alot.
