Re: coconut tart!!

here's the recipe....no its not really patty style


*~COCONUT TART*~

Pastry:

2- ½ cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

½ cup chilled, unsalted butter

2 cups chilled shortening

½ cup cold water

Filling:

3 cups peeled & grated coconut

2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon nutmeg

2 cups water

Combine flour and salt. Cut in butter and shortening until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, over mixture, stirring lightly after each addition until pastry is just moist enough to hold together. Shape into 2 disks, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Prepare filling by combining ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes or until liquid evaporate and mixture begins to dry. Set aside to cool

Roll out one pastry disk on a lightly floured board to an 11- inch circle to fit a 9- inch tart pan. Place dough into pan and fold overhang back inside and press to reinforce sides. Fill with cooled coconut mixture. Roll remaining dough and cut into strips ½ inch wide. Lay half the strips across the filing about 1 inch apart. Lay the remaining strips crosswise to form a lattice pattern. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.
