Caramel scones are a twist on the classic scones recipe, originating from the UK. They are made with a rich and buttery dough, and then topped with brown sugar that caramelizes in the oven. The result is a delicious pastry that melts in your mouth. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, or as a snack any time of the day. These scones are best when eaten fresh out of the oven, so be sure to grab one while they are still warm.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 220°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2.In a large bowl, whisk together the self raising flour, salt, powdered milk and sugar.
3.Add the coconut and mix well.
4.Rub the butter into the mix until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
5.Gradually add the water, stirring until a soft dough forms.
6.Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead lightly until smooth.
7.Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out until it's about 2 cm thick.
8.Cut out around 18 scones using a round biscuit cutter.
9.Place the scones onto the baking tray, leaving enough room for them to expand.
10.Melt the extra butter and drizzle it over the top of the scones.
11.Sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter.
12.Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

This pastry is not particularly healthy, but it can be enjoyed as an occasional treat in moderation. However, the coconut does provide some medium-chain triglycerides which can be beneficial for your metabolism and can help you lose weight. They are also a good source of fiber and can improve cholesterol levels.
