{ TWD } Toasted Almond Scones

Happy TWD!!! A big thanks to my blogging buddy Mike for choosing this weeks recipe of Scones!! 
Along with cookies, scones are my favorite things to bake?! Please check out MIKE'S blog for the recipe.

Mike has a really cool blog! I visit it a lot! He takes the best pictures and is a very talented cook and baker! I  drool over his pictures!




 This scone dough was so easy to work with. I had no issues of stickiness or anything irritating at all!



My sweet neighbors were on my Valentine's list this year to bring treats to!

 Last TWD I shared with you these cute Valentine's day boxes!I love them!




There's my cute little FOURCHILD sticker! I love those too!


I chose the littlest scone of the bunch and added a big helping of ALMOND BUTTER. Oh mama does this taste good!
There is not doubt in my mind that I will make these tasty scones again..thank you Dorie and Mike!!

Your scones look lovely. What a great Valentine's Treat and I like your sticker. I bet the almond butter only enhanced the scones - great idea!

Yours really came out beautifully. Almond butter is a great idea, one I should have thought of.

Well I am truly behind commenting. Your blog looks wonderful! I love the new look and the valentine decor! AND the scones - they look beautiful! I need to try almond butter - that sound like a "quad-whammy" along with the extract and other almonds! Thanks so much for baking along with me this week Michelle!

It's good to read that you didn't have a stickyness issue with this dough because that's the main reason I vote against making scones sometimes(even though I love eating them!)

Almond butter? Quadruple-whammy scones! They look great, especially all dressed up for Valentine's Day.

Sounds like you have lucky neighbors and friends. Not only do they get treats, but the treats look so inviting. I agree, these were so irritation-free. Nice work!

Your scones look great. So nice of you to give them away. That's what should have done. Nice packaging!

Hi, Mechelle,

Thanks for the nice comment on my blog! I've made these scones, too & loved them. I only wish I'd been able to join Tuesdays with Dorie as baking is my true passion & that is my favorite baking book! Looking forward to more cooking adventures on FFWD!
