I tested out three different
brands of coconut milk just to see if there was a difference in how they performed in this recipe.
Not exact matches
my signature dish lately is my curried fish — i
just get some good
brand or fresh thai curry paste, saute it with with veggies and add a can
of coconut milk.
My personal preference is the Aroy - D
brand —
just coconut and water — I always have a box
of that in my fridge My good friend, Danielle has a great blog post about making homemade
coconut milk from shredded
coconut (you can also make homemade
coconut flour from the pulp when you're done!)
Don't
just settle for the first
brand of coconut milk you might find in the baking aisle — also check the international foods aisle as
coconut milk is very popular in a lot
of Asian dishes, as well as the natural / organic aisles
of your grocery store.
You can buy
coconut cream as is or I usually
just pop a can
of coconut milk in the fridge for at least a few hours (some
brands need to be in the fridge overnight) and then scoop out the hard white
coconut cream layer that sits on top.
* 6 ounces almond flour (I used Bob's Red Mill
brand, and for those who prefer to measure in cups, this was
just under two cups) * 3 ounces
coconut flour (I used Bob's Red Mill
brand, and this was equal to 1 cup) * 2 teaspoons baking powder * 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt * 1/3 cup raw, organic cane sugar plus another 1 - 2 teaspoons for sprinkling on top
of the scones before baking * 9 ounces organic
coconut milk (I used organic, unsweetened full - fat
coconut milk from Native Harvest, and I stirred it very well to mix in the cream after I opened the can) * 1/4 cup organic raisins
Just make sure you use one
of the
coconut milk brands I recommend in the most recent post.
