White Chocolate Almond Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut butter into flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt with a pastry blender until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
• Stir in one egg, almond extract, and half and half. (Can add more half and half if the dough isn't coming away from the bowl.)
• Add white chocolate chips and almonds. I find it easiest to mix the dough with my hands.
• Take the dough in your hands and form 8 large balls. Set the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet. They don't have to be smooth -- the dough will be sticky to work with.
• Brush scones with egg white.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
• Immediately remove from the cookie sheet and cool on a cooling rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
• Cut in butter until it resembles course meal.
• Add 2 eggs (1 egg is reserved for later use), almond extract and cream.
• Stir until soft dough forms; mix in chocolate chips and toasted almonds.
• Pat out dough until 3/4 inch thick.
• Cut into diamond shape; brush with reserved egg.
• Place on baking pan coated with cooking spray.
• Bake for 10 minutes until lightly browned.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray. In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs.
• Reserve 2 tablespoons apricots for topping. Stir remaining apricots and 1/3 cup vanilla baking chips into crumbly mixture. Stir in egg and just enough half-and-half so dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball.
• On lightly floured surface, knead dough lightly 10 times. Pat or roll into 8-inch round on cookie sheet. Cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate.
• Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet; carefully separate wedges.
• Place melted baking chips in small resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut off small corner of bag; pipe small amount of melted chips over scones. Sprinkle with reserved 2 tablespoons apricots. Pipe remaining melted chips over scones. Serve warm or cool.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Mix Bisquick, sugar and cocoa in medium bowl. Stir in yogurt, almond extract and egg until soft dough forms. Turn dough onto surface dusted with Bisquick; roll in Bisquick to coat. Shape into ball; knead 10 times.
• Place dough on ungreased cookie sheet; pat into 8-inch circle. Brush with additional yogurt if desired. Cut into 8 wedges with floured knife, but do not separate.
• Bake about 12 minutes or until set. Carefully separate wedges. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Lightly grease a baking pan and preheat oven to 400°.
• In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
• Cut the butter into small pieces and incorporate into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter, or a fork, until evenly incorporated.
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg and buttermilk together and stir lightly into the flour mixture.
• Mix in the chips.
• Knead dough together, just until mixed.
• This is a fairly wet dough-do not add too much flour or handle too much or the scones will get tough.
• On a lightly floured surface, pat or roll the dough out to about 1-inch thick.
• Cut with a round 2-inch floured cookie cutter.
• Place on a baking sheet and bake about 15 minutes, or until scones are a light golden brown.
• Serve with jam and whipped cream.
