GINGER COCONUT SLICE

Steps:

• Combine the sifted flour, ground ginger, chopped ginger, sugar, coconut and egg in a large bowl.
• Pour in the melted butter and syrup mixture.
• Stir well to combine and press into the prepared pan.
• Cook in a 180 degree C oven, about 15 minutes, or until light brown.
• Stand for 5 minutes to firm, then turn out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
• ICING: Sift the icing sugar mixture into a bowl.
• Add the butter, lemon rind and juice.
• Add enough hot water to make it a spreadable consistency.
• Spread icing over cooled slice.
• When icing has set, cut into squares.
