Cocoanuts

How to cook Cocoanuts
Step 1

Combine eggs with sugar, vanilla, salt and beat everything into a fluffy foam.
Step 2

Add the coconut to the egg mixture. Mix the dough thoroughly. You should get a thick sticky mass. If the mass is watery, then you can add a little more coconut flakes.
Step 3

Preheat oven to 200'C. Grease a baking sheet with oil. From the coconut mass form cakes in the form of balls, put on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
Step 4
Remove the cakes from the pan and cool.
