Best 6 Almond Crumb Scones With Honey Butter Recipes

ALMOND-CRUMB SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In medium bowl, mix 3 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons sugar and the finely chopped almonds. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until crumbly. Set aside.
• In large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, the baking powder and salt. Cut in 1/2 cup butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles resemble fine crumbs. Stir in chopped almonds. Stir in egg and just enough half-and-half so dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball.
• Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead lightly 10 times. Pat or roll into 9-inch round on ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with streusel; press lightly into dough. Cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate.
• Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet; carefully separate wedges. Serve warm.

BEST ALMOND-CRUMB SCONES RECIPE

Steps:

• Add 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, ¼ cup of butter, half of the chopped almonds, and the white sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix the contents on medium speed for 2 minutes using the paddle attachment.
• Add the milk, and mix for another 2 minutes on medium speed.
• Flatten the dough between a folded piece of parchment paper.
• Chill the dough in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• For the almond crumble, add 1 tablespoon of flour, the raw cane sugar, butter, and the remaining chopped almonds to a small bowl. Mix the ingredients with your fingers until they all come together.
• Flatten the almond crumble in between a folded piece of parchment paper.
• Chill the almond crumble in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Take the dough out of the freezer, and use a cake ring to cut out individual scones.
• Top the scones with some almond crumble, either by sprinkling it on by hand or cutting it with a cake ring.
• Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 18 minutes.
• Allow the scones to cool down for 5 minutes, then serve them warm with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if desired.

SCONES WITH HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• For the buttermilk and honey butter: combine the first 4 ingredients in a food processor and turn on high. The liquid will slosh, whip, and then separate after 4 minutes. When the mixture separates, stop processing and strain out the buttermilk--there should be exactly 3/4 cup, which is what you need for the scones. Strain out the butter and squeeze dry.
• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• In a food processor bowl add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add cold butter cubes and pulse until you have a texture of coarse bread crumbs.
• Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Toss berries (which have been washed and dried thoroughly) in a small amount of flour and add them to the mixture.
• Add the buttermilk and either toss with a fork or fold with a spatula to incorporate the berries without smashing them. Mix to combine, but don't over mix.
• Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, paint the tops of each scone lightly with buttermilk or a bit of milk and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake until golden brown, and nice and puffy, about 10-15 minutes.
• Serve warm with orange honey butter.
• Notes: if you are making a scone with juice, add that after you do the buttermilk step. When I use fresh fruit juice, I don't put any sugar in the dough recipe because I think it makes it too sweet. You want to stick with small to medium scones here. Large ones will be too dark outside and under cooked inside.

• Add dough to lightly floured surface. With lightly floured hands, pat dough to 1/2" thickness.
• Cut scones using a 2" diameter heart-shaped cookie cutter or round biscuit cutter. Gather excess dough and repeat process. Place scones 3" apart on prepared baking sheet.

• Now: I add about 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract or so to my cream and egg mixture. I do not cut these with a cookie cutter and re-roll. I usually just cut them in squares and then into triangles.
• I also freeze them on a wax-paper lined sheet for several hours before baking and add about 3-4 minutes to my baking time.
