3 On floured surface, gently knead dough about 6 times. Divide dough in half; shape each into ball. Pat each ball into 5-inch round with center higher than edges. Brush with milk; sprinkle with almonds and sugar. Cut each round into 6 wedges. Place wedges 1 inch apart on sprayed cookie sheet.
4 Bake at 400°F. for 13 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

These are really excellent! I left out the almond paste and the almonds and added a little extra almond extract. East to make and my kids love them with jam!

These were the best scones I've ever made. I can't find the Betty Crocker almond paste in the stores anymore - if anyone knows where to find it, please post the information! Thanks!
