Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the ingredients. Place the shredded coconut in a pan and lightly toast it to enhance the flavor.
2
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
3
Dice the cold butter, add it to the flour mixture, and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
4
Add the toasted shredded coconut to the dough and mix thoroughly.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk an egg and then add the milk. Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
6
Shape the dough into a disc and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Slightly flatten the top and use a sharp knife to cut crosswise slits into the top.
7
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are nicely golden brown.
8
Let the scones cool slightly before serving as desired.
