Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Topping
- Extra shredded coconut for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, shredded coconut, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, blending them evenly for a uniform biscuit texture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Incorporate the softened butter, coconut milk, and vanilla extract into the dry mix. Stir thoroughly until a soft dough comes together, ensuring no dry flour pockets remain.
- Form Biscuits: Use a tablespoon to scoop portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Optional Topping: Lightly sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top of each biscuit for added texture and a decorative touch.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuits turn lightly golden, indicating they are done.
- Cool: Remove from oven and transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely before serving, which helps them set and enhances the flavor.
Notes
- Use sweetened shredded coconut for a slightly sweeter biscuit or unsweetened for a more natural coconut flavor.
- Make sure butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and better dough consistency.
- For a crispier top, broil the biscuits for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Store biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- These biscuits can be enjoyed plain or served with butter, honey, or jam.
