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: Preheat 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 to combine evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients and Form Dough: Incorporate the softened butter, coconut milk, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until a soft dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are evenly blended.
- Scoop Dough: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Add Topping (Optional): Sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top of each biscuit if desired for added texture and flavor.
- Bake Biscuits: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely before serving, allowing them to set perfectly.
Notes
- For chewier biscuits, use sweetened shredded coconut; for a more natural flavor, use unsweetened.
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature to mix well into the dough.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation and even baking.
- Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Can be served with tea or coffee as a perfect snack.
