Almond Raspberry Scones
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup almond milk and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with beaten egg, and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a cup of tea or coffee.
