Coconut & Sultana Scones


A twist on the traditional scones, coconut scones! Scones can be quite boring so adding coconut to them makes them taste a little bit different to the classic. 
I made them with the same recipe as my previous scones post but just added coconut to it.

8oz / ½ lb / 227g - Self Raising Flour
2oz / 57g - Sugar
3oz / 85g - Margarine - soften at room temperature
100g / 3.5oz Desiccated coconut
2 Eggs
Sultanas (Up to you how much you want to put in)

Optional
1 tsp Vanilla extract (Gives it more flavour)


Pre-heat oven to 200°C 
Baking time 15 - 20 minutes

(Drop of milk to brush over the top)


Mix the flour & butter together




Once they're all mixed you can add your sugar & coconut


Then add your sultanas. Up to you how much you want


Whisk your 2 eggs with a fork. In a bowl/mug/jug



Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to it



Once it's mixed add it to your mixture



The coconut can dry your mixture, if it's looking a bit dry add some milk to it. Make sure you don't add too much as you don't want your dough to be too wet. 

Once all your ingredients are mixed it's time to get your hands dirty & to roll your dough out to the thickness you want. Get your cutter to cut them. Make sure you flour your hands & your work top!

The cutter we have is pretty big & doesn't have grooves around it, it's just a plain round circle. Should really invest in some cutters.

Flour your baking tray then place your scones down & brush the top with some milk.

Bake for 15-20 minutes at 200°C until golden




Let me know if you try any of my recipes!
