THE ORIGINAL Custaroons Recipe of Gigi Gaerlan
Crank up oven to 375 degrees
Line cupcake pans with cupcake liners

Ingredients:
1 cup margarine (not butter)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 tsp salt
7 large eggs
1 1/4 cups grated cassava
1 1/4 cups dried coconut
1 teaspoon corn starch (don't go over this measurement)
2 cups coconut milk (I use the canned milk)
2 cups condenseda (according to her, this is different from condensed milk)
1/4 tsp of lemon flavoring

Procedure:
Beat margarine until very light yellow (about 4 minutes)
Mix in sugar and salt and beat again for about 1 minute
Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Mix until fully incorporated (you will notice some lumps but don't worry, this is normal)
Add coconut and cassava and mix for another 3 minutes
Add condensada and coconut milk and mix thoroughly
mix in corn starch
Add 1/4 teaspoon lemon flavoring

Pour into cupcake cups and bake at 375 for 35-45 minutes.

Let cook before taking them off the cupcake trays.
