Coconut Scones With Raspberry Or Cherry Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and dust a baking tray with a little flour. Put the remaining flour in a bowl with the coconut and1/4 tsp salt. Add the butter and rub in with your fingertips until the texture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and mix again, then pour in the buttermilk and 1 tbsp milk. Mix with a knife until the mixture has almost come together, then add the raspberries and mix again, trying not to break up the fruit too much. Add the remaining milk if the mixture seems too dry.
• Tip onto a work surface and knead the dough a little to bring it together and even out any dry patches - don't overwork it or the scones will be heavy. Pat the dough into a square about 4-5cm deep. Cut into 4 pieces, roughly shaping them back into squares if they've lost their shape.
• Place on a baking tray, brush with egg and bake for 15 mins until golden and risen. Leave to cool on a wire rack. Pack clotted cream and jam or curd to serve with the scones. Best eaten on the day they are made.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix flour, coconut, oats, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt. With your fingers or a pastry blender, rub or cut in butter until mixture forms coarse crumbs.
• In a small bowl, beat eggs and milk to blend. Stir all but about 1 tablespoon egg mixture into flour mixture just until evenly moistened.
• Scrape dough onto a lightly floured board and pat into an 8 inch round. Slide round onto a buttered 12 by 15 inch baking sheet and cut into 8 wedges, leaving wedges in place. Brush top of round with reserved egg mixture and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon sugar. Make a 1-inch diameter depression on top of the wide end of each wedge and fill each with about 1/2 tablespoon jam.
• Bake in a 375 degree regular or convection oven until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Recut scones to separate and serve warm, or transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Make the scones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar and shredded coconut in a bowl. Beat in the butter with a mixer on low speed, then raise the speed to high and beat until the mixture is in coarse crumbles.
• Whisk the coconut milk, eggs and coconut extract in another bowl, then stir into theflour mixture until just combined. Stir in the pecans; do not overmix.
• Scoop 2-to-3-inch mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets (a large ice cream scoop works well for this). Sprinkle the tops with sugar and bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the coconut milk, coconut and vanilla extracts and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar in a bowl until smooth, adding more sugar as needed to thicken. Drizzle over the scones while still slightly warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 Celsius. Line a baking tray with a baking sheet.
• Add flour, baking powder salt and sugar in a bowl and mix together. Rub in cold butter until like fine breadcrumbs. Add coconut milk and egg to bowl and mix until just combined. Add cherries and coconut and mix through. Turn mixture onto a floured board and press down until around 1 inch thick. Cut into pieces, place on baking sheet and bake in oven.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl; cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Combine egg, half-n-half, coconut, cherries and lemon peel in a small bowl.
• Add to flour mixture.
• Stir just until flour mixture is moistened.
• Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead lightly 8-10 minutes.
• Pat dough into 7-inch circle.
• Place onto greased baking sheet.
• Cut into 8 wedges (do not separate).
• Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Cool 15 minutes.
• Cut wedges apart; remove from baking sheet.
