There are many things the world can do without. Scones are not one of those things! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons firm margarine or 2 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons finely chopped almonds, toasted |
1/2 cup firm margarine or 1/2 cup butter |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup chopped almonds, toasted |
1 egg |
1/2 cup half-and-half, about |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F
2. To make streusel topping, cut margarine or butter into remaining topping ingredients until crumbly. Set topping aside.
3. For Scones, cut margarine into flour, sugar, baking powder and salt with a pastry blender in a large bowl until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in almonds. Stir in egg and just enough half-and-half so dough leaves side or bowl and forms a ball.
4. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat, Knead lightly 10 times. Pat or roll into a 9-inch circle on an ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with topping; press lightly into dough. Cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate.
5. Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet; carefully separate wedges. Serve warm.
