Husband's Cake

1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, grated coconut, yeast, and margarine

2

Carefully grate the lemon, taking care not to extract the white part of the fruit, as this will leave the mixture bitter and affect the recipe

Add the lemon zest

3

Mix well, stirring with your hands

The dough should be at the right point when it comes away from your fingers

4

Take small portions and roll them out delicately on a floured surface or marble

5

Preheat the oven to medium temperature (180°C) for 15 minutes

Cut the dough with a round cookie cutter

Make sure you get 75 pairs

If, when finished, you find that it's not going to yield enough, join pieces, roll out again and make more circles

Place the circles in greased baking dishes, sprinkled with wheat flour and put them in the oven (preheated) at a temperature of 150°C

Let it sit for about 15 minutes or until the dough darkens slightly

6

Wait for the dough to cool completely, preferably overnight

To fill, you can use sweetened condensed milk, joining two halves

The sweetened condensed milk can be store-bought (choose a good brand) or homemade: remove the labels from two cans of condensed milk and cook in a pressure cooker for 40 minutes after the whistle starts to turn

Let it cool before using.
