Orange almond scones

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Orange juice
¼ cup Buttermilk
1 large Egg
½ teaspoon Almond extract
3 cups Unbleached flour
4 teaspoons Baking powder
½ teaspoon Baking soda
¼ teaspoon Salt
8 tablespoons Cold butter
½ cup Sugar
½ cup Finely chopped almonds; (up to 3/4)
1 tablespoon Orange zest

Directions

Grate orange peel and set aside. Squeeze orange juice. In a small bowl beat juice, buttermilk, egg and extract until smooth. In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until well mixed. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture looks like fine granules. Add sugar, almonds & orange zest and toss to combine evenly. Using a fork, stir in egg mixture to form a soft dough. Turn out dough onto a floured board. Knead several times just until well mixed. Shape 8-10 slightly flatten rounds.

Bake in 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until browned. Makes 8-10 scones. Note: These are even more flavorful the next day.
