Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 2 cups Plain Flour (All-Purpose) Substitute with gluten-free flour if needed.
  • 1/4 cup Icing Sugar (Powdered Sugar) Can substitute with granulated sugar but may change texture slightly.
  • 2 tbsp Baking Powder Ensure it's fresh for optimal results.
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Enhances flavor; necessary for balancing sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Can replace with vegan butter or solid coconut oil.
  • 1/2 cup Desiccated Coconut Use unsweetened for a cleaner taste.
  • 1 tbsp Lime Zest Can replace with lemon zest for a citrusy twist.
  • 2 tbsp Lime Juice Fresh juice is preferable for better flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Canned Coconut Milk Do not use carton coconut milk; it’s less concentrated.

Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) and prepare a large baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the plain flour, icing sugar, desiccated coconut, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Grate the cold unsalted butter into the dry mixture. Blend with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until crumbly.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add lime zest, lime juice, canned coconut milk, and milk to the bowl. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
  5. Shape the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, press the dough into a round about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 triangles.
  6. Bake: Transfer the scones to your prepared tray, brush them with thickened cream, and bake for 16-18 minutes.
  7. Cool and Glaze: Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack. Drizzle with a lime glaze made from icing sugar, lime juice, and zest.
