  • 2 tablespoon icing sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Coconut scones
  • 1
    Combine coconut and coconut cream in a small bowl. Stand 20 minutes or until mixture has thickened slightly.

    Combine flour, icing sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add coconut mixture and milk. Using a knife, "cut" coconut mixture and milk through flour mixture to a soft, sticky dough.

    Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead briefly until smooth, then shape into a 2cm-thick round.

    Using a 5.5cm cutter dipped into flour, cut round from dough. Place scones side by side on prepared tray. Brush tops with extra milk to glaze. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden and well risen. Serve scones with jam and cream.
