Raspberry Almond Scones
My family is a huge fan of scones, and these Raspberry Almond Scones below (flavored with almond extract) are no exception!
Servings 12 scones
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups whole-wheat pastry flour or regular flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons butter 1 stick
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup whole milk plus extra for brushing the tops
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon almond extract I got mine from nuts.com
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- In a food processor fitted with a dough blade, process the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut the butter into tablespoon-sized chunks and sprinkle them on top of the flour mixture. Pulse until you have a crumbly mixture. Gently pulse in the almonds.
- Add the eggs, milk, maple syrup, and extract and process until the dough comes together. Add more flour by the tablespoon if too sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, sprinkle the top with flour, and pat it down a little. Using your hands (or a rolling pin), form it into a big circle that’s about ¾-inch thick.
- Cut the dough into triangles as you would a pizza and carefully transfer them to an ungreased baking sheet. If there are any remaining scraps, press them together and cut more shapes until it’s all been used.
- Brush the top of the dough with a little milk and then push several raspberries onto the top of each scone.
- Bake for 15 - 18 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
