Step 1: Preheat Your Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your scones will bake evenly and rise perfectly.
Step 2: Prepare Your Baking Sheet - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to help prevent the scones from sticking.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients - In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, desiccated coconut, granulated sweetener, and baking powder.
Step 4: Combine the Wet Ingredients - In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the melted butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 5: Bring It All Together - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl and stir gently until just combined.
Step 6: Shape the Scones - Scoop out portions of the dough and form them into rounds or triangles, about 1 inch thick.
Step 7: Prepare the Egg Wash - In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with a splash of water and brush this mixture over the tops of the scones.
Step 8: Sprinkle with Shredded Coconut - If desired, sprinkle shredded coconut on top of each scone.
Step 9: Bake - Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Step 10: Cool and Serve - Let the scones cool on a wire rack, then serve warm with your favorite spreads.
