Coconut White Chocolate Scones Food

COCONUT WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Mix in cold butter with 2 butter knives, or use your hands, until butter is mixed in and the dough is crumbly and pea sized. In a separate bowl, mix egg cream and vanilla. Add the wet into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup coconut. Form dough into a flat round disk, about 8-9 inches in diameter. Place on a baking sheet and cut into 12 triangles. Brush each triangle with a a little bit more cream (just enough so the coconut will stick) and then sprinkle with the coconut. Bake for 20-22 minutes. Melt white chocolate in the microwave on 50 percent power for 1 minute. Stir. If still not melted all the way, continue to microwave for 15 second increments, stirring after each until smooth. Drizzle melted chocolate over scones. Serve warm.

CHOCOLATE COCONUT SCONES

Steps:

• Lightly grease a baking sheet; set aside. In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, the 3 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of dry mixture; set aside.
• In a small mixing bowl combine egg, coconut milk, coconut, and chocolate pieces. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Using a fork, stir just until moistened.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Quickly knead by folding and gently pressing dough for 10 to 12 strokes or until dough is nearly smooth. On the prepared baking sheet, pat or lightly roll dough into a 7-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges; do not separate wedges. If desired, brush tops of scones with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
• Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Separate scones. Cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container or bag and store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Makes 8 scones.

CHOCOLATE-COCONUT SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together 3/4 cup cream and egg. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Stir in coconut and chocolate. With a fork, stir in cream mixture until just combined. (The dough should be crumbly; do not overwork.)
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and pat into a 6-inch circle. Cut into 6 wedges and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar, if desired. Bake until golden, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through.

RASPBERRY & COCONUT SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and dust a baking tray with a little flour. Put the remaining flour in a bowl with the coconut and1/4 tsp salt. Add the butter and rub in with your fingertips until the texture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and mix again, then pour in the buttermilk and 1 tbsp milk. Mix with a knife until the mixture has almost come together, then add the raspberries and mix again, trying not to break up the fruit too much. Add the remaining milk if the mixture seems too dry.
• Tip onto a work surface and knead the dough a little to bring it together and even out any dry patches - don't overwork it or the scones will be heavy. Pat the dough into a square about 4-5cm deep. Cut into 4 pieces, roughly shaping them back into squares if they've lost their shape.
• Place on a baking tray, brush with egg and bake for 15 mins until golden and risen. Leave to cool on a wire rack. Pack clotted cream and jam or curd to serve with the scones. Best eaten on the day they are made.

RASPBERRY & WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar in a bowl, then rub the butter into the dry ingredients using your fingertips, until it looks like fine breadcrumbs. You can also gradually pulse it in a food processor until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gently fold in 75g of the white chocolate.
• Gradually stir the milk into the flour mixture, and use your hands to bring it together until you have a smooth dough. You may need to add an extra 15-20ml milk until you have a soft dough. Gently stir in the raspberries. Working quickly so the raspberries don't completely melt, lightly dust a baking sheet lined with non-stick baking parchment and the top of the dough with flour. Gently roll out the dough to a 2cm-thick circle (ours was 22cm). Cut into 8-10 triangles, like a pizza, spreading them all out so they're about 5cm apart but still in a circle.
• Bake for 18-20 mins until golden brown. Set aside to cool. Melt the remaining white chocolate either in a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, or in 20-second bursts in the microwave. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the scones before serving.

THE ULTIMATE COCONUT SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 450°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
• In a food processor pulse together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in the butter and pulse a few times until the mixture is crumbly. Add the shredded coconut and pulse 2-3 times, just to mix.
• Pour into a large bowl and add the coconut milk; using a spoon mix together until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
• Press into a 9-inch circle and cut into eighths. Place on baking sheet and bake 12-15 minutes or until the bottoms are just slightly browned. Serve hot with a simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk, with a pat of butter, or just plain!
