Preparation

Put sieved flour with baking powder, coconut flakes, soft butter pieces, sugar and salt in a bowl and start kneading by adding milk little by little until you get a soft, not sticky dough.

Roll out the dough to 3 cm thick on a floured work surface. Cut out circles with a round cookie cutter of 5 cm and place them a little bit apart from each other on a baking tray covered with baking paper.

Distribute the apricots cut into small pieces on the scones and sprinkle with coconut flakes. Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C for 15-20 minutes.
