Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.75 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar, for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded coconut and dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture.
Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently combine the wet and dry ingredients until a rough dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gather it into a ball. Flatten it into a disc approximately 1 inch thick and 8 inches in diameter.
Cut the disc into 8 equal wedges using a sharp knife or bench scraper. Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the scones with coarse sugar for extra texture and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden on top.
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite jam, butter, or on their own. Enjoy!
