Ingredients
Scones:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1 tick (4 ounces) unsalted butter cold and cut into cubes
- ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips, chocolate chips, or chocolate chunks
- ⅓ cup sliced, slivered, or chopped almonds
- ⅓ cup sweetened shredded coconut
- ⅓ cup unsweetened coconut milk plus more for brushing
- 1 tablespoon amaretto
- 1 large egg beaten
Glaze:
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut milk
- ½ tablespoon amaretto
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add cold butter cubes to the flour mixture and work the butter into the flour mixture, using your fingers or a pastry cutter, until the mixture resembles coarse pea or dime-size crumbs. Be careful not to overwork the mixture or the butter will soften too much and the resulting scones will not be flaky. Add the chocolate chips, almonds, and coconut and toss well. Mix together the coconut milk, amaretto, and beaten egg and then add to the flour mixture and mix until just combined, kneading lightly (but don’t overwork it).
- Divide the dough in half and pat each portion into a ¾-to-1-inch thick circle. Don’t overwork the dough, as you want the butter inside to stay as cold as possible until the scones head into the oven.
- Use a bench/dough scraper or knife to cut 6 wedges (like a pizza) from each round. Flip each cut scone over and place upside down on the parchment lined baking sheet (the bottoms are flatter and will look prettier as the tops of the scones), spacing a couple inches apart. At this point, the scones can be refrigerated or even frozen and baked later. Frozen scones can be baked from a frozen state; just add a little extra baking time, as needed.
- Lightly brush on top of the scones (but not the sides) with a little coconut milk. Bake scones for 18 to 22 minutes until lightly golden on top. Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool on the pan while you prepare the glaze.
- Stir together the confectioners’ sugar, coconut milk, and amaretto until smooth. If the glaze is too thin, add a sprinkle more confectioners’ sugar. Too thick, add a drizzle of coconut milk. When scones are cool, drizzle the glaze over the tops. Allow the glaze to set briefly and then serve the scones at room temperature.
Notes
- Cut each round into 8 wedges instead of 6 to yield 16 smaller scones.
