Double Almond, Dark Chocolate & Cream Scones
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 3.5 ounces almod paste
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup cream + additional for brushing scones
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chunks
- Preheat the oven to 400*. Use spray oil to lightly grease a baking tray. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a large stand mixer sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Crumble the almond paste by hand into the flour mixture.
- Add eggs and cream and mix well using the paddle attachment.
- Add almonds and chocolate chunks and mix in.
- Turn the scone dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. With floured hands shape the dough into a 2 inch thick circular disk. Using a very sharp knife lightly dusted with flour cut the disk pizza style into 8 triangle/wedges.
- Place each triangle wedge onto the baking sheet spaced about an inch apart. Brush the tops of the scones with an additional splash of cream using a pastry brush. Bake at 400* for 15-18 minutes. The tops of the scones should be lightly browned. Cool before serving.
