Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 Tablespoon poppy seeds

1/3 cup butter

1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon almond extract

1/2 cup whipping cream

1/3 cup sliced almonds

Glaze:

1 egg, beaten with 1 Tablespoon whipping cream

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds. With a pastry blender, cut in butter until crumbly. In a small bowl, combine egg, whipping cream, and almond extract. Stir into the dry mixture until moistened.

Transfer dough to lightly floured surface and knead until dough forms a smooth ball. Roll dough into a 1-inch thick circle and cut into 8 triangular scones.

Place scones on lightly greased baking sheet. Brush lightly with glaze. Sprinkle with sliced almonds and sugar (optional). Bake about 15 minutes until lightly browned.
