FAQs
Q: Can I substitute almond flour with another type of flour?
A: Yes, but keep in mind that it may change the texture of the scones. Almond flour makes them moist and tender. If using wheat flour, you may also need to adjust the amount.
Q: Can I make these scones dairy-free?
A: Absolutely! Substitute the butter with coconut oil or a dairy-free spread, and you’ll have a delicious dairy-free scone.
Q: How do I know when the scones are done?
A: They are ready when they turn a light golden color and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
