Lemon Almond Scones

Ingredients

Scones:
• 2 c flour, measured correctly
• 8 tablespoons butter, cold
• 8 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 egg
• 2.5 tsp baking powder
• 6 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 t salt
• 2 (about 2 lemons) tablespoons lemon zest
• 2 (1/2 lemon) tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tsp almond extract
• 1/2 t vanilla
• Sliced almonds (for topping)

Glaze:
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 1/2 c powdered sugar
• 3 (1 lemon) tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tsp almond extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a food processor (or pastry cutter or two knives) cut butter into flour until in remembers a coarse, shaggy meal. Stir in sugar, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl combine eggs, cream, lemon juice, almond extract, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour liquid mixture into dry mixture and stir until just combined.
3. Tip dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Shape dough into a circle about ¾” thick. Using a sharp knife divide the dough into 8 even triangles. Place dough on a lined or greased baking sheet with about 1” in between each piece. Bake for 15-18 minutes.
4. While scones are cooling prepare the glaze. Whisk together all glaze ingredients until smooth. Once scones are cool spoon glaze on scones. Let the scones sit for a few minutes and then glaze them a second time.
