Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups Self-Rising Flour
- 1 can Coconut Condensed Milk (11.25 oz, equivalent to 1 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon)
- ½ cup Coconut Cream (canned)
- ½ cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 1 teaspoon Coconut Extract (optional)
Topping
- Almond Milk (for brushing)
- Extra Unsweetened Shredded Coconut (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 425°F (230°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly oil the paper with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Mix the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour, coconut condensed milk, coconut cream, shredded coconut, and coconut extract if using. Stir using a rubber spatula until a moist, consistent scone dough forms.
- Roll and Shape: Lightly flour your work surface and place the dough on it. Sprinkle a little more flour on top, then roll the dough with a rolling pin to about ½ inch to ¾ inch (1.2 cm to 2 cm) thickness. Use your hands to gently pat and shape the dough into a nice, even round disc.
- Add Toppings: Brush the top of the dough with almond milk to help toppings stick. Sprinkle extra shredded coconut evenly on top and gently press it into the dough with your hands.
- Cut Scones: Using a sharp knife, cut the dough disc into 8 equal triangles.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each scone onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about two inches of space between each to allow for rising during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a scone comes out clean.
Notes
- Self-rising flour already contains leavening agents, so no additional baking powder is needed.
- Using unsweetened shredded coconut helps balance the sweetness from the coconut condensed milk.
- You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk or regular milk for brushing the tops.
- Ensure not to overmix the dough to keep the scones tender.
- For added flavor, feel free to sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking if you prefer sweeter scones.
