Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Prepare 2 baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.

  3. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and shredded coconut. Whisk them together.

  9. Sprinkle the tops of the dough with sugar.

  10. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, approximately 15 to 17 minutes.

  11. While the scones are baking, prepare the glaze.

  12. In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, coconut extract, vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar until smooth. Add more sugar if needed to thicken the glaze.

  13. Once the scones are slightly warm, drizzle the glaze over them.
