1 egg
1 tbsp milk -- (1/2 oz)
1 cup apricot preserves
----- Topping -----
1 egg -- lightly beaten
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter -- melted
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups shredded coconut

In bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In small bowl, beat the egg and milk. Stir into flour mixture. Spread into greased 9" square pan and spread preserves
