Time 30m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup ground almonds
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, in cubes
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon almond extract
powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients (powdered almonds through sugar).
  • Add the butter cubes, and massage them into the dry ingredients with your hands until you can no longer discern them; the mixture should look crumbly/sandy.
  • Add all remaining ingredients (EXCEPT powdered sugar), mixing with a wooden spoon until they are completely incorporated, but do not over-mix.
  • Divide the dough into 2 balls; it will be sticky but use a bit of additional flour to work.
  • One at a time, lay each ball on a well-floured surface; sprinkle the top with flour, then flatten with your (well-floured) hands into a circle about 8 to 10 inches and 1 to 2 inches thick.
  • Cut each circle into 8 wedges and place on a non-stick bake sheet (use a spatula if needed to facilitate the transfer).
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the scones are puffed and golden in color.
  • If desired, dust with powdered sugar when cooled.

I was really looking forward to trying these scones, but I was disappointed. They were dry and crumbly, and the almond flavor was barely there. I won't be making these again.

These scones are so good! They're light and fluffy, and the almond flavor is perfect. I love that they're not too sweet, and the glaze adds just the right amount of sweetness.

Not bad, but not great either. The scones were a bit dry and the almond flavor was not very strong. I probably won't make these again.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were good. I liked the crunchy almond topping.

Not a fan. The scones were dry and crumbly, and the almond flavor was overwhelming. I won't be making these again.
