Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
- Mix the flour, salt and sugar, then work in the cold butter cut into cubes, rubbing with your fingertips.

- For the filling, mix the coconut, brown sugar, soft butter, coconut milk, vanilla and cinnamon.
- Roll out the dough and cut out discs about 10 cm in diameter.
- Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each disc, fold the edges and form a little shell.
- Brush the surface with beaten egg and bake for 20 minutes, until golden. Let cool slightly before serving.
