Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Prepare a large baking sheet/tray by lining with parchment of you prefer, or you can use as-is (they may just get slightly browner on the base and stick slightly).
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder.
- Cut the butter into small chunks and cut it into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter, or grate the butter then mix into the flour. You are looking to make a coarse crumb mixture, not overly-mixed.
- Lightly beat the egg and mix with the coconut milk and vanilla. Add these to the flour-butter crumbs, along with the desiccated coconut, and mix through so they are combined but try not to overmix. Don't worry if it's still relatively dry.
- Add the mango and fold the mixture together then transfer to a lightly floured surface. Gently flatten the dough slightly with floured hands and cut it into roughly 8 pieces, eg squares or triangles (you can make more for smaller scones - these will be relatively large).
- Sprinkle the baking sheet with some granulated sugar then carefully transfer the scones with some space between them (around 1in/2.5cm or more). Sprinkle the top of the scones with a little more sugar then bake for around 18-22 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked scones to a cooling rack to cool slightly before eating.
Notes
- If you want to freeze these scones, I recommend you do so before baking rather than after. Make the scones and cut them, transfer to a baking sheet and freeze. Once they are frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or sealed container. Then, when you want to use them bake from frozen adding an extra couple minutes to the bake time.
