I much prefer the metric equivalents; it's the only way I bake anymore. I mostly go by feel these days, but if I am using a recipe, I much prefer measurement in grams.
I am not British (alas!!) , but I find the measurements in grams really helpful as I happen to own a kitchen scale and find it less cumbersome to weigh things than use scoops (less mess too).
I want to make this for brunch tomorrow but would like to do the work before my friends arrive. Any harm to leaving them to chill for more than 20-30 minutes (say, 2 hours)?
I made these this morning and they are delightful! However, my coconut didn’t stay a lovely shade of brown and got a little darker than expected as I wanted the bottoms to get a little browner. Any tips??
Did you use untoasted coconut for the top? If I ever face over-browning, I lay a sheet of aluminum foil on top of what’s baking — just to act as a visor — without cinching closed.
Love this recipe and YES to metric measurements!! Coconut is my fav and I only really bake with sourdough, so am gonna make these with discard🙌 can't wait!! Thank you!
Love the sound of these! And yes to metric measurements - so much easier!
Will add these to my “to bake” list - can already imagine how nicely they would go with a coffee (and maybe a lick of salted butter and lime curd if I am feeling fancy!).

Another vote for grams!

Hear hear! I would bake in grams even if I wasn't a Brit.
PS, Love(!) the Irish bread recipe from the NYT!
Thank you!
Grams 4eva! Be the change you want to see in the world! 😉
I couldn't agree more — all hail recipes in grams!
Metrics 100%! Any excuse to use a scale instead of measuring spoons & cups. 😂
Norwegian here and much appreciate the metrics — and everything else :)
Yes please to metric grams for recipes!
Just made these and they were a huge hit! Devoured by teens and grownups alike. Thank you for this keeper!
First recruit to the coconut club!
Weights are nice because I’m gluten free so it makes substitutions effortless!
America is changing. Yes to metrics!

No harm whatsoever. 2 hours is great. I wouldn’t leave them overnight.
A terrific recipe for scones. I've not tried to make coconut ones before but I will definitely give this one a try.
Came here to say these are indeed FABULOUS and I also love grams :) thank you Clare for this recipe!
Sick De-lish!
