These are really light and tasty. Personal preference would be more almond extract, though. Easy to make, since you don't have to cut butter into flour and knead and shape. This is more of a thick batter dropped onto baking sheet. Went great with morning coffee. And MUCH healthier than regular scones. Instead of sugar on tops, I added some sliced almonds. Made for Fall 2008 PAC.
