How to Make Awesome Almond Scones
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the almond extract and chopped almonds.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
- Use a sharp knife or a scone cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
