Almond Scones
A lovely treat split open and eaten with strawberry Jam! Receipe from:
http://www.windattack.comMakes: 6
Ingredients:
½ cup (unsweetened) Soy Milk
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tbs Pure Maple Syrup
2 tbs Oil
1/8 tsp Almond Extract
Pinch of Salt
1 cup All Purpose Flour
½ cup Almond meal ( finely ground almonds)
¼ cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
2 tbs Cornmeal
2 tsp Baking Powder
6 Raw Almonds
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. In a small bowl, mix the vinegar and soy milk. Let sit while preparing the dry ingredients.
3. Sift together the flours, cornmeal and baking powder. Mix well in a large bowl.
4. Mix the maple syrup, almond extract and salt into the soy milk, then add the oil and whisk until it is well emulsified.
5. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry mix just until the dough comes together. The dough will be very thick, similar to biscuit dough.
6. Transfer to a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet and shape into a circle, about six inches in diameter. Cut the circle into 6 equal triangular pieces, then pull the pieces apart so there is at least an inch between each scone.
7. Top each scone with one raw almond, gently pushing it into the dough. Bake the scones for 17-20 minutes: when they start to get a bit golden on top and are light brown on the bottom.
8. Let cool completely on a cooling rack for best texture. Once cool, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to prevent them from drying out.
