How to Make Coconut and Lime Scones
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cream, lime juice, zest and extracts along with egg and coconut. Mix until blended. Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart.
- Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool completely
- Mix 2 cups powdered sugar with two tablespoons water along with 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract. place the icing in a bowl and dip the top of the scones in the icing and allow the remaining icing to drip off before turning them right side up. If the icing is not thick enough add additional powdered sugar.
