*This recipe makes 16 fairly large scones, hence some of the large ingredient amounts.
**It's crucial that you use the spoon-and-level technique to measure out your flour for this recipe, otherwise you might end up overflouring the dough. Better yet, weigh your flour!
***I like to buy my almond paste from a local nut house, where it always seems much fresher, softer, and easier to work with than the type I've found in the grocery store. If you can find really good, fresh almond paste, I recommend the splurge! But otherwise, the typical grocery-store almond paste will work too.
