You will LOVE this scrumptious scone:
Paleo or Vegan version;
5 ingredients or less;
no butter in both recipes;
ready in under 20 minutes!
If you love scones and if you looove almonds, this recipe is just what you need. Indeed, I combined my favorite breakfast of all with one of the flavor I love the most. Besides, almonds are very popular this month (particularly in Europe) due to the Epiphany, from the 6th January to the end of the month.
That’s why I’ve been trying to use almonds as often as I can the past few weeks. However, almonds are quite expensive and quite absent from the nuts department, as lots of people may use them to make frangipane (try my Epiphany Wreath with a Frangipane Filling!). But, using small amounts allows ti bake and/or make lots of delicious things.
Why This Scone Recipe is Different From The Others?
No butter
No dairy milk
Almond flour
2 different baking temperatures
Paleo and Vegan versions.
I didn’t planned to make a ‘Paleo’ or ‘Vegan scone’, As I wanted:
A crunchy scone
Yet kind of chewy
Full of almond flavor
With no butter
One serving
it just happened!
This scone is just for one person, so it has to be easy to make, besides creating no leftovers.
You just have to:
- Mix the flour(s) with baking powder
- Add the liquid ingredient and mix
- Shaping your dough on a floured or sugared surface
- Pop it in the oven!
I’ll just have one more thing to say really, if you are usually a bit afraid of all the scone process, try this one. No chilly butter required, no layers, just nice and easy!
