Coconut & Raspberry Scones
With how well the pear and almond scones went down, I figured I would have a go at some of my other favourite flavours! This dough is a little trickier to work with as it requires the cook to use their judgement with the dough, I made them twice and its important to get the right consistency when adding the milk, make sure your dough is wet & sticks together well. I ate these with a little coconut oil spread on top, they are more like a scone texture than the pear & almond in that they are a little drier. I preferred these to the pear & almond but my sister voted for the pear, so its really preference! Let me know which one you like the most!
NOTE: Make sure if you are setting them aside for the next morning DO NOT store in a cealed lunchbox container when they are still HOT, as the steam will cause them to go soggy!Leave them aside in the open air.
