Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups almond flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 4 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk (plus more for brushing on top)
  • slivered almonds for sprinkling on top
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, salt, and baking powder.
  3. In a large bowl, mix melted butter and sugar. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just starting to combine.
  5. Add the milk and mix until a soft dough forms.
  6. Chill the dough in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to make it more workable.
  7. Shape the dough into a ball on a clean surface, then flatten it into a thick disc and cut into 6 triangles.
  8. Transfer triangles to the prepared baking tray. Sprinkle with slivered almonds and brush tops with milk.
  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before drizzling with powdered sugar glaze.

Notes

- Ensure your almond flour is finely ground for the best texture.
- Do not overmix the dough after adding the milk, as this can make the scones tough.
- Chilling the dough is crucial for easier handling and a better scone shape.
- For a richer glaze, use heavy cream instead of milk.
