- 2 cups almonds toasted, sliced
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk (or nonfat yogurt if desired)
- 1 large egg free range
- 2 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 Tbs heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 punnet raspeberry fresh
Instructions
- Toast almonds; cool, then crumble and set aside.

- Combine flour, baking powder, soda, salt and sugar in large 3-quart mixing bowl; set aside. Whisk buttermilk, egg and almond extract together in small bowl; set aside.
- Cut butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add almonds, reserving a few for topping. Add buttermilk mixture and mix lightly with a large fork until mixture clings together and forms a soft dough.
- Carefully add the raspberrys to break them but not to pulp
- Turn onto lightly floured surface and knead gently 5 or 6 times. Divide dough into quarters. Roll out ½-inch thick into four rounds.
