Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white whole wheat flour or more all-purpose
½ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. Salt
1 stick cold butter cut into small pieces or grated (8 Tbs.)
6 Tbs. heavy cream plus more for brushing
1 large egg
½ tsp. almond extract
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
Sliced almonds for topping
Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until evenly crumbled. In a small bowl, whisk together the cream, egg, and almond extract. Add to the flour mixture and stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Pat the dough into an eight-inch circle, and cut into 8 equal wedges. Transfer the wedges to prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Brush the tops of the scones with cream and sprinkle with almonds. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Notes

To make Lemon-Raspberry Scones, omit the almond extract and 2 tsp. fresh grated lemon zest to recipe.
