Last spring there was an Almond Scone recipe in it made with almond paste.  Does anyone have it?  I would be very thankful if anyone could give it to me!  Thank you so much!

I am also looking for the Almond Scone Recipe from Spring of 2007 (I blieve).  Can't locate my book!  If anyone has the book, I think it had Easter Brunch  recipes, please post the recipe.  Thank you.

Hi! Just found my book after a thorough search.  It was in the April 2006 book of 'Simply Delicious Brunches'.  The recipe is as follows:

2 cups all purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

6 Tblsp butter

1/3 cup almond paste, cut into small pieces

1/2 milk

1/4 tsp almond extract

1 egg, beaten

Sliced almonds if desired

Coarse sugar, if desired

1.  Heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Lightly spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.  In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix well.  With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Stir in almond paste separating pieces to coat each with flour mixture. 

2.  In small bowl, combine milk, almond extract and egg; blend well.  Add to flour mixture.  Stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. 

3.  On floured surface, gently knead dough about six times. Divide dough in half; shape each into a ball.  Pat each ball into 5 inch round with center higher than edges.  Brush with milk; sprinkle with almonds and sugar. Cut each round into 6 wedges.  Place wedges 1 inch apart on sprayed cookie sheet.

4.  Bake at 400 degrees F. for 13-15 minutes or until light golden brown.  Cool 10 minutes before serving.

High altitude (3********* ft.): Increase flour to 2 1/3 cups.  Bake as directed above. 

Servings: 12

Sorry, correction to the recipe for almond scones.  It should read 1/2 cup milk.

I found the recipe and I copied it to the forum.  Hope you enjoy them.

Thank you for posting this recipe! :)
