- Yields:
-
8-10 scones
ingredients
- 1 1⁄4 cups flour
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped crystallized ginger
- 1⁄4 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into bits
- 1⁄2 cup sliced blanched almond
- 1⁄4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1⁄2 cup heavy cream (may substitute milk)
directions
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the large bowl of a standing electric mixer, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and sugar. Stir in the ground and crystallized ginger.
- In the same bowl, using a standing electric mixer on medium speed, add the bits of butter to the flour mixture. Mix until the butter is evenly combined with the flour and the mixture feels like coarse cornmeal.
- Add the almonds, the almond extract and then the cream, or mik combining just until the dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn out the dough onto a surface dusted with flour or sugar, and pat it into a 6-inch square, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into triangles with a knife and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, separating them by at least 1/2 inch. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve warm.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
