Coconut Lime Scones

Delicately crisp on the edges and tender at the center, these golden scones are infused with toasted coconut, fresh lime zest, and just the right touch of sweetness. Baked to buttery perfection and finished with a bright lime drizzle, they’re a tropical twist on a classic teatime treat—vibrant, fragrant, and made to be savored.
