Almond Poppy Seed Scones
- scones
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1/2 cup butter cold, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- glaze
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Preheat the oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray a scone pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds.
- Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or two knives, until the pieces are no larger than pea sized.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Pour the sour cream mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined (do not overmix!).
- Pat the dough out into a circle that is approximately eight inches in diameter. Cut the dough into eight equal sized wedges (I found it helpful to use a pizza cutter).
- Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet or in the scone pan. Bake 15-17 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- While the scones are cooling, whisk together the butter, almond extract, and powdered sugar. Add enough milk to make a glaze that is easily pourable but not too runny. Drizzle the glaze over the scones and allow to cool completely.
