Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spread 1/3 cup shredded coconut evenly on a cookie sheet and toast for 5-8 minutes or until lightly golden. Grease a shallow, 8x12 inch baking pan and line with enough waxed paper to overlap the longer sides; this will make the bars easier to remove.
2. Sift the self-rising and all-purpose flours into a large bowl. Add the brown sugar, seeds, macadamia nuts, dates, ginger and 1/2 cup coconut. Stir in the pineapple, melted butter, and beaten eggs and mix well.
3. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in the pan, remove and cover with the icing.
4.TO MAKE THE ICING, combine the confectioners' sugar, melted butter, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir in 1-2 tsp of boiling water to reach a smooth consistency. Spread evenly over the top. Sprinkle the top with the toasted shredded coconut and slice and serve when set.
