Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup(s) sugar
1 tablespoon(s) lemon zest
1 1/2 cup(s) flour
1/2 tablespoon(s) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
4 tablespoon(s) butter, chopped
1 - egg
6 tablespoon(s) heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon(s) coconut extract
1/4 cup(s) oven toasted coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the sugar and lemon zest in a bowl. Use a spoon to press the zest into the sugar. Add the flour, baking powder and salt to the lemon zest and sugar.
  • Using your fingers, cut in the butter into crumbly. Mix the egg, heavy cream, and coconut extract in a separate bowl, then add to the dry ingredients and combine. Add in the toasted coconut, mix until combined. Use your hands to form rounded scones, dividing the dough into equal sized scones. Place the scones on a baking sheet with a silpat and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the scones are slightly browning.
  • How to toast coconut: Place the shredded coconut on a baking sheet, bake at 325 degrees F for 4-6 minutes, stirring to prevent burning. Coconut can burn easily, so keep an eye on it. Remove the pan from the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes. Use your fingers to break the coconut into smaller pieces.
