• 1 T. baking powder
• 3 T. granulated sugar
• 1/2 t. salt
• 6 T. cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
• 1 c. canned coconut milk, plus 1 T., divided (NOT lite coconut milk)

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Quickly cut in the butter, using hands, 2 knives or a pastry blender; mix until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a feel larger butter lumps. Pour 1 c. coconut milk and vanilla extract over ingredients; stir with a spatula until dough begins to form. DON'T over mix. Gently fold in the coconut and dark chocolate chunks.
3. Transfer dough to a floured countertop; knead dough by hand just until it forms a ball. Form scones by patting dough into a 3/4 inch thick circle; cut scones into 8 even triangles. Place onto prepared baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush lightly with additional coconut milk.
