Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees
- In a bowl add: sifted plain flour, baking powder, desiccated coconut and sugar.
- Cut up the butter in small cubes and add this to the dry mix. This will help you achieve an easy crumb texture.
- With your hands crumb together the butter with the flour mix, until you achieve breadcrumb texture.
- In a jug or another bowl add: milk, egg, zest, lemon juice and vanilla and whisk. Keep aside 2tbsp of liquid aside.
- Make a well in the centre of the flour crumb and pour in the liquid mix.
- Bring it altogether until it forms a rough dough. Dust a floured surface and add this sticky mix onto the surface.
- Bring it altogether until you achieve a dough. Roll it out into approximately 4cm thick and use a cutter of your choice to cut out scones.
- Do not twist. Gently lift each scone and pop it onto a grease proof lined baking tray. I made 12.
- Brush each scone with the eggy milk mix and bake for 15 minutes, middle shelf until light golden brown.
- Serve immediately with your favourite toppings.
