Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 0.5 cup canned crushed pineapple, well-drained
• 0.5 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 0.3 cup chopped macadamia nuts
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons demerara sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Fold in the crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients, then gently mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a 1-inch-thick circle and cut into 8 wedges.

Step 8

Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle the tops with demerara sugar for added texture and sweetness.

Step 10

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on the edges and firm to the touch.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the scones cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, clotted cream, or a drizzle of honey.
