Set oven at 425F.

Mix lightly with a fork until mixture clings together and forms a soft dough. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead gently 5-6 turns.

Divide dough in quarters and pat into 1/2" thick circles. Cut into 6 wedges. Bake on greased baking sheets. Brush scones with cream and sprinkle with a little sugar and a few slices of almonds.

Bake 12-15 minutes.

Makes 24 scones.
