Whether you call them tea buns, tea biscuits or scones, these Toasted Coconut Tea Biscuits are a twist on an old family favourite recipe that I just love. Spouse and I often say that the flavour of lightly toasted dried coconut is so much better than un-toasted. This recipe absolutely proves it.
My mother in particular has made an awful lot of coconut tea buns over the years. It’s one of those things that can often be found in the freezer at her home in Bay Robert’s. If you drop by for an afternoon mug-up, you’d be happy to have her pull some from the freezer to go with your coffee or tea.
The result was outstanding. The toasted coconut tea biscuits had so much more flavour than the original version!. The nutty flavour of the toasted coconut was terrific in this slightly sweeter version of the original. I also added a small amount of coconut extract to the milk while making the dough, which added to the deeper flavour.
These toasted coconut tea buns were baked, spaced out on a parchment lined baking sheet because I always prefer them with slightly crispy edges even if they are a bit more flat. If you prefer, for a softer texture, you can place them close together in a baking pan. The will be softer in texture and will have to be separated like a batch of dinner rolls when serving, just like my Nan used to bake them. It’s completely your choice.
Give these a try for an office coffee break, a weekend brunch or whenever your like…and Mudder, I might just have to make these the next time we have a mug-up together. You’re going to love them.
