How to Make Milky Coconut Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup self-raising flour
• 1/2 cup butter (softened)
• 1/2 cup icing sugar
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
• 3 Tbsp milk powder
• 2 Tbsp liquid milk

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, beat the butter and icing sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
2. Add the desiccated coconut, self-raising flour, and milk powder to the bowl. Mix well to combine both the wet and dry ingredients.
3. Pour in the liquid milk and mix again. If the dough feels a bit sticky, sprinkle some flour. If it’s too dry, just add a little more liquid milk until you achieve the right consistency.
4. Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, scoop the dough and roll it into small balls.
5. Roll each dough ball in coconut, then place them on a prepared baking tray. Use a fork to create a pattern on top of each biscuit.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 18 minutes or until they turn slightly golden brown. If you want to make more biscuits, feel free to double the ingredients.

How to Serve Milky Coconut Biscuits

How to Store Milky Coconut Biscuits

To keep your biscuits fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay good for about a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the biscuits in a freezer-safe bag for up to a month.

Tips to Make Milky Coconut Biscuits

• Make sure your butter is softened, as it helps create a smooth dough.
• If you like a crunchier texture, bake them a little longer.
• Experiment with different types of coconut, such as sweetened or unsweetened.
• Use a cookie cutter instead of a fork for fun shapes.
• Top them with chocolate or icing if you want to add a sweet finish.

Variation

For a twist, you can add chocolate chips or nuts to the dough. You can also try adding a hint of vanilla extract or almond essence for more flavor.

FAQs

1. Can I use regular flour instead of self-raising flour?

2. What can I use instead of butter?

3. Can I leave out the coconut?

4. Is there a gluten-free option?
   Absolutely! You can use gluten-free flour to make the biscuits gluten-free.

5. Can I add flavors to the biscuits?
   Yes, feel free to add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor or other extracts for variety!
