Recipe: Coconut Rock Bun

1 pre-heat the oven at 356 °F (180°C)

2 in a salad bowl, pour the egg whites and the sugar, then, put the bowl onto a casserole pan half full of boiling water on the hob to make a bain-marie and whip the mixture until it becomes too much hot (122°F = 50°C) for your finger

3 take the bowl out of the bain-marie, pour the coconut powder into it, then the apricot jam and continue stirring the mixture during 2 or 3 minutes

4 on an oven non sticking (Flexopan/Teflon) plate, make small balls with the mixture (with spoons or a pastry bag - look at the picture)

5 cook them during 20 minutes at 356°F in the oven.
