Jessica's Notes:

Yummy, sweet, a little crunchy, a lot nutty, and perfect with the accompanying honey butter!

Directions

Heat oven to 400°F. In medium bowl, mix 3 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons sugar and the finely chopped almonds. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter, using pastry blender, until crumbly. Set aside.

In large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, the baking powder and salt. Cut in 1/2 cup butter, using pastry blender, until particles resemble fine crumbs. Stir in chopped almonds. Stir in egg and just enough half-and-half until dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead lightly 10 times. Pat or roll into 9-inch round on ungreased or parchment lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle with streusel; press lightly into dough. Cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate.

Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet; carefully separate wedges. Serve warm with Honey Butter.

For the Honey Butter:
Whip honey and butter together in stand mixer or with handheld electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Preparing to create these right now! They sound more than yummy! I'm sure I'll have to pace myself while eating them, as I enjoy most any type of scone and absolutely love almonds! Tammy Royer

In step one you add 2 tbsp chopped almonds, ok. In step 2 you said "stir in almonds", but what almonds? I don't see any in the ingredients lists.

Sooo tempting! I can't eat nuts... but I'm gonna grind these almonds up in my blender and eat them anyway and swallow down a digestive enzyme with the scones! LOVE ALMONDS! I'm guessing between 1/3 to 1/2 c of almonds in step 2, Elba.. yummmmmmmm!
