Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 0.5 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 unit egg, beaten
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (for optional glaze)
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 flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded coconut, drained crushed pineapple, and lime zest until evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and beaten egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a round disk about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the disk into 8 equal wedges.
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
If desired, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lime juice. Drizzle over the cooled scones before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your tropical Paradise Scones!
