Jam and Coconut Slice

 This recipe is adapted from an AWW recipe to Thermomix.  I have also made a couple of changes to the recipe.  

The first change is I used a slightly bigger pan as I wanted a thinner base.  22 X 32 cm.  I lined the pan with baking paper. 

The second change is I used Apricot jam and used nearly a cup, not 1/2 a cup as mentioned in the original recipe. 

Ingredients 

90 g butter

110 g caster sugar

1 egg

50 g. SR flour

110 g plain flour
