Amazinh rocky i LOVE macaroon!!! Im scottish though LOL

[Sir Alec]

Can you liquidize sugar until it is finer? I've done this before. It's not perfect but may do for your purposes.

[tinkerbell23]

How do u do that xxx

[rockyracoon]

I made coconut macaroons the other might, they were quite nice, unfortunately I ate too many, gave myself a sugar rush and don't want to look at them anymore.

Saw on a shopping channel once the guy using a grinder and to demonstrate ground sugar going from granulated to caster and finally to icing sugar. Might be worth a try if you have a bean whizzer.

[Sir Alec]

Just put some sugar in a blender or liquidizer and keep zapping it till it's finer. As I say, it never gets as fine as the bought product, but may suffice.

Hope they turn out okay, tinks!

Is this the sort of recipe you are doing? Weird! What do they taste like?

[Anngel123]

Blimey, have heard of potato scones but not of potato in sweet things. I love coconut, so might give this a try. Thanks Pastafreak.

[tinkerbell23]

Yeah cooled potatoes mashed up with enough icing sugar to make it into a dough u can roll out, cut into bars, dip in melted chocolate and toasted coconut!! Tastes lovely honest- ive grew up eating it and didnt realise it was made of potatoes!!! Xx

[DaisyNonna]

Coconut? Ugh! Thought of a Bounty bar makes me feel queasy.

[tinkerbell23]

[tinkerbell23]
