Ingredients

  • 100 butter softened for greasing
  • 200 coconut flakes 
  • 140 sugar 
  • 140 flour plain
  • large eggs 
  • 140 yogurt greek-style (we used Yeo Valley )
  • 85 cherries finely chopped
  • 140 smucker's cherry preserves 

Equipment

  • food processor
  • frying pan
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • whisk
  • mixing bowl
  • sieve
  • microwave
  • skewers

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas
  2. Grease 6 x 120ml madeleine moulds (see tip, below). Put 50g of the coconut in a food processor with the sugar and whizz until the coconut is as fine as the sugar. Tip into a mixing bowl with the butter, flour, egg and yogurt, and whizz with an electric whisk until smooth. Stir in the cherries, then divide between the moulds. Sit on a baking sheet and bake for 35-45 mins until a skewer poked in comes out clean. Cool for 10 mins, then turn out from the tins to cool completely.
  3. Heat the jam in a pan or microwave, then sieve to remove the cherry lumps. Tip the remaining coconut onto a plate. Trim any wonky bottoms of the madeleines so they sit flat.
  4. Brush a thin coating of jam over each and roll in the coconut to cover. Will keep in an airtight tin for up to 2 days.
