Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure and a tender crumb for the biscuits.
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut Adds coconut flavor and a bit of chew without extra sweetness.
  • 0.25 cup sugar Sweetens the biscuits lightly and helps with browning.
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder Leavening agent that gives a gentle lift.
  • 0.25 tsp baking soda Supports light rise and balances acidity.
  • 0.25 tsp salt Enhances overall flavor and balances sweetness.
Wet Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup cold butter, cubed Cold butter creates flaky, tender layers and rich flavor.
  • 0.25 cup whole milk Adds moisture and richness to the dough.
  • 0.25 cup coconut milk Contributes coconut flavor and a creamy texture.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Brings depth and a warm, aromatic finish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to distribute evenly.
  3. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the whole milk, coconut milk, and vanilla extract until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be a little rough.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press gently if you prefer flatter tops.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on the edges. Rotate the pan halfway through if needed for even browning.
  2. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack. Allow a few minutes to set so they hold their shape.

Notes

Keep the butter cold and work quickly for the flakiest texture. Do not overmix the dough; a slightly rough texture yields a tender biscuit. For even baking, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the bake time. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
