I got rid of the remains of a sack of einkorn flour instead of using spelt. They came out great! Even my picky "I won't eat brown baked goods" teens loved them.

Tips for making these without coconut flakes? Not a big fan of the texture of that ingredient. Ok to just omit or should I add more flour maybe?

do you think I would have a good result if I substitute another flour for spelt..perhaps buckwheat, or whole wheat or a combo ?

Hmm... I would experiment with it, but keep in mind that spelt has fragile gluten, while whole wheat has stronger one, the results might be quite different. I wouldn't use buckwheat in this recipe, it has an overpowering taste for this setting.

Hello,
I just made these and of course I should have read the comments before hand; I hope they turn out! I used liquid coconut oil instead of keeping it solid. I wish that if you took the time to comment on the comment about solid or liquid that maybe your recipe could have reflected the preferred method.
Thanks you!

I am sorry you had hard time with the recipe. I hope your scones turned out ok. I noticed that the editors edited my recipe and put "solid", but instead of adding it to the coconut oil, they added it to the coconut crumbs instead :). Makes no sense. I will update it as soon as I can.

It appears that because this recipe was super-edited by Food52, I have no permission to edit it anymore. I will reach out to them to see if they can correct the problem.

Looks amazing, cant wait to try ! One question, so you bake the scones blueberry side down?

No, you just freeze them upside-down in a pie tin, which makes it easier to press the dough onto them, but before baking, you invert the frozen "pie" onto the board (blueberries now up), cut and bake.

Why is the word 'solid' in the ingredients after the shredded unsweetened coconut?

Should the coconut oil be added melted or solid?

Solid is better. You want to replicate the butter texture - flaky, crumbly in the end.

Can't locate unsweetened coconut flakes... will scones be too sweet if I use sweetened?
