Instructions
Before you get started
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Zest and juice the lime.
- Prepare a clean, floured surface.
- Grate the butter with a cheese grater.
Scones
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, lime zest, and salt.
- Stir in the butter.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and coconut extract.
- Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Place the dough onto the floured surface and flatten it into a 7 inch circle.
- Using a butter knife, cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Place scones onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until they start to brown.
Lime Glaze
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon lime juice.
- Drizzle the glaze over the scones, and serve.
Notes
- A ½ cup butter equals 8 Tablespoons or 1 stick.
- Place the butter in the freezer for 10-15 minutes prior to use, so that it is very cold.
- If you don't have a cheese grater, you can cut the butter into small pieces and cut it into the flour mixture with a pastry blender.
