Coconut balls "Richbond"
Crispy balls that become juicy in contact with apricot jam. A wonderful combination of coconut-apricot flavors. Particularly attractive is their soft orange color dressed in the fluttering spirit of coconut flour.
Preparation steps
- Prepare all the ingredients.
- Put the eggs in a bowl of hot water for 5 min. This is necessary so that the butter does not tighten during whipping. Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar until the sugar dissolves. Test between your fingers to see if there are still any crystals. Add oil and melted butter (it should be liquid) and whisk well.
- Now gradually add the flour several times. Stir all the time to get a smooth mass.
- Add the last part of the flour and baking powder to this smooth mass and start mixing by hand.
- Knead the dough and form a ball. Now turn the oven to 160 ° C
- By tearing the dough with your fingers, form balls the size of a small walnut and arrange them in a tray, leaving space. My tray is smaller so I have to bake two rounds. Who has a larger tray, all the balls can fit at once. It should drop about 35-40 balls. Bake for 20 minutes at 160 *
- The balls should stay bright. It should not blush.
- Now heat the apricot jam with two tablespoons of orange blossom water. If you don't have this oriental addition to the cakes, you can also use rose water or some other aroma. And it doesn't have to be anything. If you do not add anything, add 2 tablespoons of water to dilute the jam a little to make the balls easier to soak.
- Dip hot balls on both sides, turning several times and rolling them directly into coconut flour.
- Arrange on a serving plate. These balls can be eaten immediately, but they are best the next day when the flavors are combined and the jam penetrates inside and softens the surface layer.
Serving
They are served cold and are best only the next day, if you last until tomorrow :-) ...
