  These were good, and I would make them again. I give them an 8. INGREDIENTS 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces I did 6 T of butter and 2 T. of coconut oil 2 large eggs 3/4 cup coconut cream (see notes below), plus 2 tablespoons for brushing the scones I did buttermilk and added 1/2 tsp. coconut extract instead 1 cup raspberries (frozen works well here) I probably increased this a bit 1/2 cup shredded coconut 2 teaspoons sugar I topped mine with coconut instead 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon  see note above Essentially, you mix the dry, cut in the butter, add the wet and barely mix. I might decrease the liquid a slight bit, and I will add the coconut and raspberries before the liquid next time. You Bake them at 400 for 12-20 minutes.  http://kitchenconfidante.com/coconut-raspberry-scones-recipe?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+Kitchen-Co
