Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

How to Make Soft and Buttery Milky Coconut Biscuits

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, shredded coconut, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

3. Cut in the Butter

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for creating that flaky, buttery texture.

4. Add the Wet Ingredients

In a separate small bowl, mix the whole milk, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix!

5. Shape the Dough

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Roll or pat it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

6. Bake Until Golden

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden on top. The smell of warm butter and coconut filling your kitchen? Absolutely heavenly!

7. Cool and Enjoy

Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm, with a bit of butter, honey, or your favorite jam.

What to Serve with These Biscuits

These soft and buttery coconut biscuits pair beautifully with:

A cup of tea or coffee – The perfect morning or afternoon treat.

Fresh fruit – Try sliced mango, pineapple, or berries for a refreshing contrast.

Coconut whipped cream – For an extra indulgent touch!

A drizzle of honey or jam – Adds a hint of extra sweetness.

Tips for the Best Biscuits

Use cold butter! Keeping the butter cold ensures a light and flaky texture. You can even chill the dough for 10 minutes before baking for extra flakiness.

Don’t overmix the dough. Stir just until everything comes together to keep the biscuits tender.

Roll the dough evenly. This helps ensure even baking and perfect biscuit texture.

Brush the tops with milk or melted butter before baking. This gives them a beautiful golden color.

Storage Instructions

Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Refrigerator: Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, warm them up in the oven for that fresh-baked taste!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use sweetened shredded coconut instead of unsweetened?

Yes, but the biscuits will be a bit sweeter. You may want to slightly reduce the sugar in the recipe.

Can I substitute coconut milk with another type of milk?

You can use almond milk or extra whole milk, but you’ll lose some of the coconut flavor.

How do I make these biscuits even flakier?

Try grating frozen butter into the dry ingredients instead of cubing it. This creates tiny pockets of butter for the best flaky layers.

Can I make these biscuits gluten-free?

Yes! Just swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour blend.
