Shuku Shuku - Nigerian Coconut Balls

Here's the recipe for the Nigerian Coconut Balls that Debby made for book club to go along with our discussion of My Name Used To Be Mohammad

INGREDIENTS

YIELD: 14 balls

1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1⁄4 cup caster sugar or 1⁄4 cup superfine sugar
3 egg yolks
1⁄2 cup self-raising flour

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut, sugar and egg yolks to form a stiff dough. Squeeze into 1 inch balls, and roll each ball in flour to coat.
Place on a baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden.
