Ingredients

1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup canned coconut cream, warmed
3 1/2 cups self-rising flour
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk, plus additional, for brushing

Directions

1

Combine coconut and coconut cream in a small bowl. Let stand 20 mins or until mixture has thickened slightly.
2

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Combine flour, powdered sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add coconut mixture and milk. Stir with a spatula to a soft, sticky dough.
3

Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead briefly until smooth. Pat or roll out to 3/4-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch cutter dipped into flour, cut rounds from dough. Place scones, side by side, on prepared pan. Re-rolls scraps as needed. Brush tops with additional milk to glaze.
4

Bake for 12-15 mins or until golden and well risen. Serve scones with jam and cream, or with lime butter.
