Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 3/4 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1/2 cup Coconut milk (full-fat)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream or milk (for brushing)
• 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (for sprinkling, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Stir in the shredded coconut to evenly distribute it throughout the dry ingredients.

Step 4

Add the cubed cold butter to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly incorporated.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, coconut milk, and vanilla extract.

Step 7

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 8

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and bring it together with your hands. Shape it into a disc about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick and 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter.

Step 9

Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.

Step 10

Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart.

Step 11

Brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream or milk, and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.

Step 12

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown around the edges.

Step 13

Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
