Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, shredded coconut, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, mix the whole milk, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and gently stir until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times. 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.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or honey!
Notes
- Use cold butter for the flakiest biscuits. You can even chill the dough for 10 minutes before baking for extra layers.
- Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the biscuits soft and tender.
- For a golden finish, brush the tops with a little milk or melted butter before baking.
- Storage: Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days, in the fridge for 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
