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.
