Almond Scones

Hoosier Hill Farm Almond Paste is the premium filling you need for superior baked goods! Select blanched almonds are blended with sugar to form a rich, sweet, and nutty almond paste. It’s perfect for baking pastries, danishes, cookies, cakes, almond croissants, and so much more. Our bulk almond paste comes to you in a convenient resealable container that’s perfect for commercial bakeries and kitchens.

How to Use: Almond paste can be blended directly into cake batter or cookie dough or used as a filling in pastries and cakes. Its soft texture makes it easy to roll out into thin sheets or scoop and shape into small portions. To prevent sticking when rolling out almond paste, we recommend dusting your work surface and rolling pin with powdered sugar.

Storage: Store unopened almond paste in a cool, dry place. Once opened, we recommend refrigerating opened almond paste in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic food wrap for up to three months. Bring paste to room temperature before using for the most workable texture.

  • 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter frozen then grated
  • 7 ounces Hoosier Hill Farm Almond Paste (chilled then grated)
  • 2 large eggs
