We have a lot to celebrate this weekend. Tomorrow is Josh’s birthday and Sunday is Mother’s Day! On Saturday, I will spoil Josh with all of his favorite things…donuts, pizza, and chocolate chip cookies. On Sunday, it is my turn! My boys always take good care of me, so I know they will make Mother’s Day special, but this year I am putting in a special request. I want Toasted Coconut Lemon Scones for breakfast…in bed, with a cup of tea, freshly cut flowers, a good book, and complete silence. Is that too much to ask? Ha! That scenerio sounds dreamy, but let’s be realistic. It’s not going to happen and I am ok with that. I will probably be up early with all of my boys in our bed, reading children’s books, laughing, and wrestling. Sounds like a great Mother’s Day to me! I am not giving up on the scones though, there will be Toasted Coconut Lemon Scones for breakfast. I might have to help make them, but I don’t mind. I love spending time in the kitchen with my favorite boys. It is the best way to celebrate Mother’s Day!
Scones are my one of my favorite breakfast treats. Lots of butter and heavy cream, what’s not to love? I especially love these scones because the coconut and lemon combo is perfection!
I used Sunkist Meyer lemons to make these scones. Meyer lemons are a bit less acidic than regular lemons and are great in lemon desserts and lemon treats…like scones!
I used fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and coconut in the scones. When the scones were done baking and cooled, I drizzled a lemon glaze over the scones and added toasted coconut to the tops!
I think these are the best scones I’ve ever made…and I’ve made a lot of scones! I couldn’t stop eating them. They are light, tender, flaky, and the lemon coconut flavor is refreshing! Plus, they are pretty! The lemon glaze and toasted coconut finish makes these scones almost too pretty to eat. If you are looking for a special recipe to spoil your mom with on Mother’s Day, make Toasted Coconut Lemon Scones. They are the perfect breakfast or brunch treat! If my boys don’t volunteer to make scones for me, I am still going to make them this weekend. I love being a mom and making special treats for my boys is what I do best! I will just make sure I get the biggest scone:) Have a fabulous Mother’s Day weekend!
