Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by placing the sweetened shredded coconut into a food processor. Pulse it until crumb-like.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, crumbed coconut, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add diced cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture and cut until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Create a well in the mixture, add coconut milk and egg, gently mix until a soft dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, shape into a 7-inch disk, cut into 8 wedges, and chill for 30-60 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush scones with coconut milk and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Mix sifted powdered sugar with a tablespoon of coconut milk in a bowl until smooth for the glaze.
  8. Drizzle the glaze over cooled scones and serve warm or at room temperature.
