Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 450&# 194;°F (230ðC).
-
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate small bowl, mix the coconut milk with 3 tablespoons of the toasted coconut flakes (reserve the rest for topping).
-
Pour the coconut milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly for about 30 seconds.
-
Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 3/4 inch.
-
Use a 2-inch round cutter to punch out biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly buttered.
-
Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with the reserved toasted coconut flakes.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
