18/11 Macaroons for Telstra
Leaving everything to the very last minute, the day before international departure I had to sort out my phone contract. So the arduous call began and i found myself waiting for Telstra. Now I know inspiration didn't hit me from the fridge, or in a shower fan like Kath Day-Knight but I did make something up from scratch and was nice, different and unusual.
These are coconut Macaroons akin to the chewy Italian biscuit, rather than the fluffy French Macaron. I was surprised as Kath when they worked out and my phone was sorted before my flight. Things to see, people to do. Sayonara. Thanks Telstra.

500g Desiccated Coconut
300g Castor Sugar
150g Almond Meal

Begin long call to Telstra, hands free so you can multitask. Tip the coconut, sugar and almond meal into a large mixing bowl. Mix together until even. Crack the eggs over the top. While the phone provider doesn't explain things properly use your hands and mix everything together with frustrated force.
It will take a little while to make the mix combine evenly. Once you have a large sticky lump try rolling a golf ball sized piece, if it holds its shape its good to go. Roll out balls from the rest of the dough and line in military file on a tray with baking paper. Flatten them slightly with your palm into fat discs. Bake for about 10 minutes, until dangerously golden brown (they do catch and burn quickly).
Take out and dust with icing sugar, leave to cool. They are very weak when hot, but as they cool the biscuits become gnawingly chewy. Telstra fixed my phone and lead me to make these. Are you happy with your service today?
