Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200°C.
  • Rub the butter in the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, then stir in the castor sugar.
  • Make a well in the flour mixture, then add the coconut and pour in the milk. Mix until combined and a soft, doughy consistency is achieved – add more milk, if necessary.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface, then roll out slightly (it should still be relatively thick). Using a cookie cutter, cut out rounds of the dough and place onto a greased baking tray.
  • Brush lightly with beaten egg and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the scones are golden and have risen slightly.
  • Serve warm with butter, crème fraîche, strawberries and thick honey.
