These were my favourite--Mum use to make them often. I always loved the melted caramel on the top. Cook time for me is usually 12 minutes.

Categories     Scones

Time 25m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

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:

  • Use cold butter: This will help to create flaky layers in the scones.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the scones to hold their shape.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown: Overbaking will make the scones dry.
  • Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings: Butter, jam, clotted cream, or lemon curd are all classic choices.
