How to make Coconut Scones
In a bowl, using your fingertips, mix the flour with butter until it forms breadcrumbs. Then add sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix together one egg, milk, and vanilla essence. Stir until well combined.
Add your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients and mix. Do not over mix.
Once done, transfer your dough onto a floured surface and cut into desired shapes.
Brush with the remaining egg and bake at 180°C until golden brown.

FAQS
What is the best way to store leftover coconut scones?
To store leftover coconut scones, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Just make sure to let them cool completely before freezing.
Can I make coconut scones dairy-free or vegan?
Yes, you can make coconut scones dairy-free by substituting unsalted butter with a plant-based butter or coconut oil. For a vegan version, replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water per egg) and use a non-dairy milk alternative.
What can I pair with coconut scones for a delicious breakfast?
Coconut scones pair wonderfully with tropical fruits like pineapple or mango, as well as with a spread of coconut cream or jam. A cup of coconut or chai tea complements the flavors beautifully, making for a delightful breakfast experience.
What are some substitutions I can make for the ingredients in coconut scones?
If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder (1 cup of flour with 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder). You can also substitute shredded coconut with desiccated coconut or omit it entirely for a plain scone.
How do I ensure my coconut scones are light and fluffy?
To ensure your coconut scones are light and fluffy, avoid over-mixing the dough once you combine the wet and dry ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined, and make sure your butter is cold when mixing to create a flaky texture.
