Kokosove Kiflice (Coconut Crescents)

These delicious biscuits are the perfect accompaniment with coffee or just to have when you feel the need for a little something. The kids always appear with big glasses of milk in hand when I make these and actually so does hubby. I try and have a bit of self control and take just one with a cup of coffee or tea but it never lasts long and I am back with coffee in hand grabbing a plateful to scoff down.

Ingredients: (Makes around 40)

250 grams of unsalted butter1 and 3/4 cups of plain flour1 and 1/2 cups of self-raising flour1 and 1/2 cups of desiccated coconut3/4 of a cup of white sugarjuice of 1 lemon2 eggs2 cups of icing sugar to roll in
