Instructions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the almond flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder and salt.

Step 2

Add the chilled butter pieces to the dry mixture. Use a pastry blender, fork, or fingers to work the butter into the flour, uniformly incorporating into a sandy mixture. Stir in the berries or alternative mix ins.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, and vanilla. Stir into the dry mixture until no dry pockets remain. Cover the bowl and chill for at least 30 minutes while the oven preheats to 425ºF.

Step 4

Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Dump the cold scone mixture onto the baking sheet and shape into a thick 6-7 inch (15-18 cm) disc, about 1 - 1½ -inches thick (2.5-4 cm).

Step 5

Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 equal triangles. Use a small spatula to separate the cut scones on the baking sheet so they are at least 2 inches apart. If desired, brush the tops and sides with cream and sprinkle on the coarse sugar.

Step 6

Bake on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. The tops should be set and lightly golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
