Milky Coconut Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients:
- ½ cup self-raising flour
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup icing sugar (powdered sugar)
- ½ cup desiccated coconut, plus extra for rolling
- 3 tablespoons milk powder
- 2 tablespoons liquid milk
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and icing sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the self-raising flour, desiccated coconut, and milk powder. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the liquid milk, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Shape the Biscuits:
- Take small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls.
- Roll each ball in the extra desiccated coconut to coat evenly.
- Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press down on each ball to flatten slightly.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The biscuits will still be soft when you take them out but will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
Tips:
- Storage: Store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Add-Ins: For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cardamom powder to the dough.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free self-raising flour if needed.
- Coconut Lovers: Toast the desiccated coconut before using it for a deeper coconut flavor.
