Categories Scones

Time 25m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups self raising flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons powdered milk
4 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons coconut
30 g butter
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons butter, extra
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

Heat oven to 220°C.
Melt extra 2 tablespoons of butter and brown sugar together (I use the microwave).
Mix flour, salt, milk powder, sugar, coconut, butter and water to a soft dough.
Roll and cut into 12 rounds.
Press a thumb hole in the top of each round.
Fill with melted butter mixture.
Cook for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through.

Tips:

To achieve the best results, ensure that your butter is cold and cubed before incorporating it into the dough. This will help create flaky layers in your scones.
Handle the dough as little as possible to prevent the butter from melting and compromising the scones' texture.
Use high-quality caramel sauce for the filling. This will significantly enhance the overall flavor of your scones.
If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
To achieve a golden brown crust, brush the tops of the scones with milk before baking.
For a sweeter scone, sprinkle additional caramel sauce on top before serving.
