Yield Makes 6 scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups blanched almond flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 tablespoons butter, as cold as possible (preferably frozen), cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 small Granny Smith or Fuji apple, peeled, cored, and cut into thin tiles

Steps:

  • DO THIS:
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F with the rack in the middle position, and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to work the pieces of cold butter into the dry ingredients until a crumbly mixture is produced. Then, mix the cinnamon into the almond flour mixture.
  • 3. In a separate bowl, thoroughly whisk together the eggs, apple cider vinegar, and honey.
  • 4. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients, and pour the egg mixture into it.
  • 5. Gently mix with a spatula until a wet, chunky dough forms, and then throw in the apple. Combine the ingredients with your hands, and form a ball of dough.
  • 6. On a sheet of parchment paper or a nonstick surface, gently flatten the ball with your hand. The round of dough should be about 3/4 inch thick. Using a pastry cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into 6 equal-sized wedges, and arrange them on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • 7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through. The scones are ready when they're golden brown, and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Transfer the scones onto a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
  • This isn't just another subpar substitute for the real thing. It's BETTER than scones made with wheat flour!
  • BONUS RECIPE!
  • In the mood for Dark Chocolate Cherry Scones instead? Follow the same recipe, but leave out the cinnamon and apple. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in step 3. Then, in step 5, add 3 ounces of super dark chocolate, cut into bite-size chunks, and 1/4 cup of dried cherries.

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding a little more milk next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scones turned out really dense. They were still edible, but not as light and fluffy as I was hoping for.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm not a big fan of apples, but these scones were still really good. The cinnamon flavor was strong and the scones were very moist.
