Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F). Lightly grease a muffin tin.

In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and sugar. Rub in the cold butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Add egg yolks and cold water. Mix to form a soft dough. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut out circles to fit the muffin tin.

Place the pastry circles into each muffin cup and spoon a small amount of apricot jam into each one.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the sugar and coconut.

Top each jam-filled tartlet with a spoonful of the coconut mixture.

Bake for 20–25 minutes until the tops are golden. Let cool before serving.
