Coconut Roughs

First of all...THESE ARE THE BEST THINGS EVER. Coconut Roughs are...flakes of coconut and chocolate. There's a shop (which my closest one CLOSED DOWWWN.) which only sells it in the winter, and is quite pricey (honestly not that worth it actually). But what if I want it summer?. Apparently it needs to be cold or something? Well. So...I'm tackling coconut roughs in very, very warm weather.

Curry Puffs

I totally suck at crimping the edges. LOOOOK! They're so bad. But! They tasted good? So the pastry was all flaky and... and totally awesome and it made up for the hideous edges. The pastry was pretty crumbly anyway, so crimping is pretty hard. After I made these, I saw this version where you roll it up into a swirl and then cut it into slices. Then it gets wrapped around the filling and deep fried and then all the layers just slightly separate and...ooh. But anyway, I was aiming for a pastry that wasn't like a hard piece of cardboard-y biscuit. You know? No? Oh. Alright then.  

ANZAC Biscuits (chewy)

So, I know that it's nowhere near ANZAC Day and stuff...but I like ANZAC Biscuits. Besides, I bought a packet of desiccated coconut yesterday 'cause I felt like it (and no, don't tell me it's impulse buying...you know who you are). I made chocolate cupcakes with coconut icing yesterday as well and had them for breakfast. How healthy...

ANZAC Biscuits have quite an interesting history from what I remember... *goes to search it up*
...Hmm, apparently, they should NEVER be referred to as cookies. ANZAC cookies. Eww. Sounds weird. ANZAC Biscuits are better. Isn't cookies like an American term anyway?

Also, I've always preferred quick oats to rolled oats, even though the rolled will give a chewier texture... or something. I like chewy biscuits. CHEWY FTW!...excuse me. Got a bit excited there. Um, actually I only baked half the dough and froze the rest of it in a cylindrical shape so that I could slice it into rounds next time I bake the biscuits.

So... I took a couple of nice photos which I can't really insert here and there between the text. So here they come.
