Almond Scones (optional: with Strawberries)

This recipe was a sugar cookie recipe gone awry but turned out to be way better than any cookie imagined.

Slivered Almond Scones

Ingredients:
2.5 cups flour
1 stick butter
3/4 cups yogurt
1 large egg
1/3 cups egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup silk vanilla light
1/3 cup slivered almonds
1.5 cups white sugar

2 cups frozen strawberries (optional)

Pre-heat oven at 350 degrees.

Mix all dry ingredients together.

With an electric hand mixer, mix in egg and egg whites. Afterso, mix in yogurt and butter. Dough should be a slightly crumbly consistency. Add the rest of the wet ingredients. Dough should be sticky and moist. On a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, place 1.5 inch dough balls and sprinkle slivered almonds on top. Put in the oven for 7-10 minutes or until scones are a light brown at the edges.

Take out scones to cool. Enjoy with your favorite cup of tea or coffee.


Optional: Cut scones in half hamburger wise. Put frozen strawberries in microwave in a shallow bowl for two minutes. Microwave frozen strawberries until they are in a thawed state. Put thawed strawberries on scone "bun" to enjoy as a rendition of a breakfast strawberry shortcake.
