Step-by-Step Instructions for Coconut Scones with Lime
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, icing sugar, baking powder, desiccated coconut, and salt.
- Add grated unsalted butter to the dry mixture and blend until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Mix together lime juice, lime zest, coconut milk, and milk; then pour into dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Lightly flour your work surface and shape the dough into a 1-inch thick disk.
- Cut the disk into 8 equal triangles with a sharp knife.
- Place cut scones onto the baking tray, brush tops with thickened cream, and bake for 16-18 minutes.
- Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack; mix icing sugar with lime juice and drizzle over warm scones.

Notes
Avoid overmixing to maintain light texture. Ensure baking powder is fresh for optimal rising.
