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.

These scones were delicious! I loved the almond flavor and the sugar glaze was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making these again soon!

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less sugar glaze. But overall, they were still good.

I wasn't a huge fan of these scones. The almond flavor was too strong for me and the scones were a bit too dense. But my husband loved them, so I guess it's a matter of personal preference.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste. I think I might have overcooked them. But the almond flavor was nice and the sugar glaze was a good addition.

I've tried many scone recipes, but this one is by far the best. The scones were moist and flavorful, with a perfect crumb. The almond glaze added a touch of sweetness and crunch. I highly recommend this recipe!

These scones were absolutely divine! The almond flavor was prominent and perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the sugar glaze. They were also incredibly light and fluffy, with a slightly crispy exterior. I will definitely be making these again soon
