Ingredients
Scones
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter cold cut into cubes
- 1 - 1 ½ cups coconut, shredded
- 1 cup buttermilk or heavy cream (35 %) - plus extra for brushing on scones
Lemon or Pineapple Glaze
- ½ cup lemon or pineapple juice
- 2 cups icing or powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 lemon, zest finely grated if using lemon juice or if desired
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Using 2 forks, add butter and mix until it looks like crumbs.
- Add buttermilk or heavy cream and stir until blended.
- Add coconut and stir until incorporated.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 12 by 3 by 1 ¼ inches.
- Cut the rectangle into circles using a round cookie cutter.
- Place the biscuits on your prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until beautiful and brown.
- Let the biscuits cool for 5 to 19 minutes before you drizzle on the glaze.
- In a small saucepan, over low heat, combine juice with the powdered sugar until dissolved.
- Whisk in the butter and lemon zest if using. Stir constantly until smooth. Drizzle the glaze on top of the scones. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Mix the dough gently. It's best to stir just enough to incorporate all the ingredients. When it's mixed too much you may end up with tough biscuits.
- Transfer the baked biscuits to a wire rack immediately. This allows even cooling, which helps the biscuits maintain their shape and avoid becoming soggy before being glazed.
- Make sure your butter is in cold small pieces before using in recipe.
- Chocolate Pistachio Honeycomb is a perfect recipe for someone with a bit of a sweet tooth.
