White Chocolate Almond Scones image

A friend of mine served these at a playgroup coffee date several years ago. I finally got around to making them again today. They are so yummy!

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.

Not a fan. The scones were too dense and dry for my taste. I also found the white chocolate to be a bit too overpowering.

These scones were heavenly! The white chocolate and almond flavors were perfectly balanced, and the scones themselves were light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making these again soon.

I'd give these scones a 7/10. They were good, but not great. The flavor was a bit one-dimensional, and the texture was a bit dry.

These scones were amazing! The perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. I'll definitely be making these again and again.

These scones were a bit of a disappointment. The flavor was bland, and they were too dry. I think I'll stick to my old scone recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of white chocolate, and these scones were just too sweet for me. Otherwise, they were well-made and had a nice texture.

Not bad! The scones were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was spot-on. I think next time I'll try adding a little bit of butter or cream to the dough.

I made minor changes to the recipe, adding a bit more chocolate and using a different type of almond. The scones still came out great! They were moist and flavorful, with a crispy exterior.

These scones were an absolute delight! The combination of white chocolate and almonds was divine, and the scones themselves were fluffy and flavorful. I followed the recipe exactly, and they turned out perfectly. I'm definitely making these again soo
