How to Bake Scones with Almond Flour

Asked Mar 16, 2021 by Nancy K.

I've become intrigued with almond flour baking recently. I'm not GF, just am looking for variety. I've tried almond flour scones with unsatisfactory results. All the recipes I find call for melted butter, instead of cold butter cut in to the dry ingredients. The resulting dough is more like a sticky batter, and the texture is odd. Would it work to use a more traditional method (cold butter cut in like pastry) with almond flour? Should I sub some wheat flour for some of the almond flour? Thanks!
