We've enjoyed a delightful two days and nights respite from NYC's hustle and bustle. The room is lovely, the ambiance warm and breakfast just yummy!  Victoria is the consummate hostess, tour guide and one-woman Chamber of Commerce.  All of her suggestions were right on the money.  Many thanks for a memorable stay!

From Our Kitchen

 

Almond Scones

 

2 C. Unbleached Flour

1/4 C. Granulated Sugar

2 tsp. Baking Powder

1/4 tsp. Sea Salt

6 Tbsp. Cold Unsalted Butter

1/3 C. Almond Paste

1/2 C. Milk

1/4 tsp. Almond Extract

1 Large Egg, beaten

Milk, Sliced Almonds, and Turbinado (raw, coarse) sugar

 

 Preheat you oven to 400degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

 

Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles small pea-sized pieces.  Cut in the almond paste.

 

In a small bowl whisk together the milk, almond extract and egg.  Add this to the flour mixture and stir with a fork just until all the dry ingredients are moistened.

 

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 10-12 times.  Divide the dough into two pieces and pat each piece into a 6" round circle.  Cut each circle into 6-8 wedges.  Transfer the wedges to the prepared cookie sheet.  Brush with milk and top with sliced almonds and Turbinado sugar.

 

Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, until lightly browned.

 

Serve with clotted cream and jam. [To make homemade clotted cream, whisk together 4 oz of cream cheese with 1/2 cup of heavy cream until creamy consistency is reached.
