Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.75 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Milk (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar (for sprinkling)
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 flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, mix the coconut milk and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the coconut milk mixture into the dry ingredients, gently stirring until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch-thick round.
Cut the dough into 8 wedges (like a pizza) and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and milk together to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle a pinch of sugar over each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until the scones are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite toppings, like butter, clotted cream, or jam.
