These coconut scones are buttery and flaky, with the perfect amount of sweetness and creaminess. They'll be the perfect addition to your breakfast table or snack with coffee.
When it comes to breakfasts I love scones. There’s something about a good scone that’s difficult to match. I mean they have everything! They are buttery, sweet, flaky, and go perfect with butter, jams, and jellies.
These coconut scones are all that and then some more! They are moist in the center and have crispy crumbly wedges that melt in your mouth.
How to Make Coconut Scones
If you’ve never made scones before you are probably wondering how you can recreate them at home. The good news is they are super easy to make! It’s also a recipe made only with pantry staples and things you probably already have on hand.
- First start by mixing all the dry ingredients until they are incorporated.
- Then add the cold butter and working quickly, incorporate it into the dry ingredients. It should resemble coarse sand. This is the most important step in the scone making process. You don’t want to overmix it so don’t worry if there are still a couple of medium butter pieces around.
- Finally, add the eggs and milk and with the help of a spatula mix until everything is barely incorporated and barely holding together. This is what creates the crumbly corners!
- And then you want to refrigerate them before baking them. Around 30 minutes in the refrigerator is enough! That helps achieve a super flaky scone that rises a lot.
How to Store Coconut Scones
Scones last in the refrigerator once baked for around 5 days. Once you are ready to serve them you can take your coconut scones to the toaster or the oven for a couple of minutes.
You can also freeze them before baking them for up to 3 months. Then it’s just a matter of taking directly from the freezer to the oven and baking them for 10 to 15 minutes longer.
These scones are best served with a cup of coffee, Egg Hashbrown Casserole or these Jammy Eggs!
