COCONUT SCONES
Steps:
- Prepare the ingredients by grating the butter, then mix together the coconut milk, egg, and coconut extract. Place both the butter and liquids back in the refrigerator.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, shredded coconut, and sugar. If time permits, allow the mixture to cool for a while in the refrigerator or freezer.
- Have a large cookie pan lined with parchment paper ready to be used.
- Using your hands or a fork, rub the butter in the flour until the flour is fully coated with the butter and the mixture resembles slightly wet sand.
- Pour in 3/4 of the liquid mixture and use a wooden spoon, a fork, or a rubber spatula to mix in the liquid and hydrate the flour. If you notice there is some dry flour that does not mix in drizzle in a little more of the liquid. Depending on the flour brand, humidity, and the conditions of your kitchen you might use only 3/4 of the mixture or all of it.
- Once the dough has come together, divide it into equal parts and shape each into a 5"x3" rectangle.
- Use a knife to cut each rectangle into two squares and each square into two triangles. Line the scones on the prepared cookie pan.
- Place the pan in the freezer (or refrigerator) while you heat the oven to 400F. (or up to 8 hours).
- Brush the scones with any coconut milk you have left over and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the bottom edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool before glazing,
- To make the glaze, mix the coconut milk with the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. If needed, use more coconut milk. (Light coconut milk will dissolve in the sugar faster so start by adding 2 tbsp)
COCONUT SCONES WITH COCONUT GLAZE
This is the winning recipe from the Food Network Magazine's August/September 2009 secret ingredient recipe contest. It was submitted by Stacy Rae Garwood of Temecula, CA. Stacy's triple dose of the secret ingredient--coconut milk, coconut extract and shredded coconut--separated her from the pack. The glaze is just sweet enough that you don't need jam.

Steps:
- Make the scones: Preheat the oven to 400°F Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar an shredded coconut in a bowl. Beat in the butter with a mixer on low speed, then raise the speed to high and beat until the mixture is in coarse crumbles.
- Whisk the coconut milk, eggs and coconut extract in another bowl, then stir into the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the pecans, do not overmix.
- Scoop 2"-3" mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets (a large ice cream scoop works well for this). Sprinkle the tops with sugar and bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the coconut milk, coconut and vanilla extracts and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar in a bowl until smooth, adding more sugar as needed to thicken. Drizzle over the scones while still slightly warm.

Steps:

- Pour into a large bowl and add the coconut milk; using a spoon mix together until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
- Press into a 9-inch circle and cut into eighths. Place on baking sheet and bake 12-15 minutes or until the bottoms are just slightly browned. Serve hot with a simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk, with a pat of butter, or just plain!

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, unsweetened coconut.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- To make the glaze, you can use either powdered sugar or granulated sugar. If you use powdered sugar, the glaze will be thicker and creamier. If you use granulated sugar, the glaze will be thinner and more transparent.
- To make the scones extra special, you can add a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
- Bake the scones until they are just golden brown on top. If you overbake them, they will be dry.
- Let the scones cool for a few minutes before glazing them. This will help the glaze to set.
