Chocolate-Coconut Scones image

These classic bakery treats couldn't be easier to make at home. Simple swaps take them in new directions, so try Cream Scones with Currants, Cherry-Hazelnut Scones, Lemon-Ginger Scones, or Blueberry-Almond Scones.

Time 25m

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon cold heavy cream
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for work surface
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup coarsely chopped bittersweet chocolate
Sanding sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together 3/4 cup cream and egg. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Stir in coconut and chocolate. With a fork, stir in cream mixture until just combined. (The dough should be crumbly; do not overwork.)
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and pat into a 6-inch circle. Cut into 6 wedges and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar, if desired. Bake until golden, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

I had some trouble getting the scones to rise. I think I may have overmixed the dough.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I still enjoyed these scones. The chocolate flavor was strong enough to balance out the coconut.
