Almond Maple Scones

I love scones, a little more than a biscuit but not as heavy as a cake! Makes such great snacks and this one has a wonderful vanilla glaze on top. I hope you try this easy, easy recipe for them!

Ingredients for the scones:
3 1/2 c. flour (all-purpose)
1 c. chopped almonds
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2/3 c. vegetable shortening
1 c. milk
1/3 c. maple syrup
1/3 tsp. maple flavoring

Mix dry ingredients. Mix liquid; add to dry ingredients. Cut into wedge pie-shaped pieces. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes.

For the Vanilla icing:
Ingredients:
1 cup Confectioner’s sugar
4 to 5 tbsp. 2% milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Add confectioner’s sugar to a bowl then mix vanilla extract and milk together and add it to the sugar and make a smooth paste.
