🧂 Ingredients

1 Separate the yolks and egg whites. Keep the yolks for another dish.
2 Beat the egg whites to a stiff froth.
3 Add powdered sugar, butter and semolina, mix well and keep overnight.
4 In the morning, mix the rose water with the desiccated coconut.
5 Add this coconut to the batter, mix and then pour into pre-lined tins. (We use
special trays that are about 11/2 or 2-inch tall and are called thalies.)
6 Bake in an oven at 200 degrees Celsius / 390 Fahrenheit for 50 mins and your
thalie sweet is ready.
