Next I want to try adding chunks of crystallized ginger.
I did not have a lime and was low on lime juice, so the glaze was part margarita mix 😞🤣
These are dense, moist scones. If you want fluffy biscuits, look elsewhere. 😁
These are not particularly sweet, but the glaze sets them off - you can use more or less glaze depending on your tastes.
Ingredients:
1.5 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup demerara sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 stick (4 oz) very cold butter
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 TBS lime juice (fresh is best)
1 tsp lime zest (optional)
1-2 TBS milk
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
3/4 cup fresh blackberries, though frozen would probably be fine
Topping:
2 TBS lime juice
1/2 cup powdered sugar, or enough to orifice the consistency you like
Lime zest, if you have it
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F.
Mix dry ingredients (first six). Cut in the butter, preferably using a pastry mixer, until the mixture is homogenous and the butter is in pea sized chunks or smaller. Add the yogurt, lime juice and zest, and 1 TBS milk. Mix until just combined - it shouldn't be crumbly, but it should only be just out of that stage. Add more milk if needed.
Add coconut flakes and blackberries, and folks into dough with your hands. Don't worry about smashing the berries.
Break dough in half and flatten into two disks on a baking sheet lined with silicone mats or parchment paper. Pre-cut the discs into the number of pieces you want - I found 6 per disc worked well. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together the lime juice (or margarita mix) and powdered sugar. Drizzle over finished scones just before serving (you don't want the glaze soaking into the scones) and top with a sprinkle of additional zest.
