I used to work at a wonderful cafe in downtown Savannah, Georgia. All of the food was homemade – and incredible. Almost every morning there were these delicious scones – I think the recipe originally came from a Moosewood cookbook. Try them using fresh orange juice!

Start with:

6 C. flour

2 T. + 2 t. baking powder

1t. baking soda

1/2 t. salt

- Mix the above ingredients and then cut in 1/4 lb. butter.

- Add 1 Cup sugar and 1 Cup of ground almonds.

And then in a separate bowl combine:

1 Cup fresh OJ

1/2 Cup plain yogurt

2 eggs

1/2 t. almond extract

- Mix the above into flour mixture with a fork.

- Carefully knead the dough and create a round shape.

- Cut into 4 pies and create round shapes with each.

- Cut those into 6 pie slices.

- Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes on parchment-lined cookie sheets. Makes about 24.

Can be served warm alone or with a little jam or creme fraiche.
