Time 22m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup butter
1 3/4 cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
6 tablespoons half-and-half (can use milk, but 1/2 and 1/2 is better)
1 teaspoon almond extract
white chocolate chips (as many as desired)
sliced almonds (optional)
1 egg white (just the whites)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut butter into flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt with a pastry blender until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
  • Stir in one egg, almond extract, and half and half. (Can add more half and half if the dough isn't coming away from the bowl.)
  • Add white chocolate chips and almonds. I find it easiest to mix the dough with my hands.
  • Take the dough in your hands and form 8 large balls. Set the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet. They don't have to be smooth -- the dough will be sticky to work with.
  • Brush scones with egg white.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Immediately remove from the cookie sheet and cool on a cooling rack.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your scones. Use real butter, fresh eggs, and high-quality white chocolate and almonds.
  • Do Not Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make your scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the scones hold their shape and rise properly.
  • Bake the Scones at a High Temperature: Baking the scones at a high temperature will help them rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Cool the Scones Completely: Allow the scones to cool completely before glazing them. This will help the glaze set properly.

White chocolate almond scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich white chocolate flavor, crunchy almond topping, and sweet glaze, these scones are sure to be a hit. They are also versatile and can be customized to your liking.
