How to make orange almond buttermilk scones

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or butter and flour them.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
• Cut butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or food processor until mixture has a coarse texture, with small-pea-size pieces of butter visible.
• Using the large-hole side of a box grater, grate the chilled almond paste into the bowl of flour mixture and toss until completely mixed in.
• In a medium bowl using an electric mixer, mix orange rind, buttermilk, 1 egg and almond extract, until well blended.
• Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture and stir vigorously until dough forms a ball.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured work table and knead 6 to 8 turns. Shape into a rectangle and roll out to a 1/2 inch thickness.
• Using a 2 1/2 inch round cookie cutter, cut out scones and place on the cookie sheets.
• In a small bowl, beat remaining egg with a tablespoon of water. Use this to brush the tops of the scones.
• If desired, sprinkle the tops with sugar and-or crushed almonds.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool on wire racks.
