Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Silicone mat or parchment paper
- Large Bowl
- Whisk
- Sharp Knife
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups almond flour
- 2 medium green onions white and light green parts only, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary chopped (or 3/4 teaspoon dried)
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (or 3/4 teaspoon dried)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon flaked sea salt
Instructions
- Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper, then lightly grease it with a little oil.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, chopped green onions, parsley, rosemary, thyme, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure there are no clumps and everything is well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the ricotta cheese and egg until a soft dough forms. It should be evenly mixed.
- Shape the Scones: Turn the dough out onto your prepared baking sheet. Gently pat it into a 6-inch round circle.
- Score and Season: Use a sharp knife to carefully cut the circle into 6 equal wedges, but don't separate them yet. Sprinkle the top with paprika and flaked sea salt.
- First Bake: Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the tops feel firm to the touch.
- Separate and Finish Baking: Take the baking sheet out of the oven. Carefully separate the scone wedges and spread them out a bit on the pan. Return them to the oven and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the sides feel dry.
- Cool Down: Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking pan before serving. Enjoy these tender, flavorful scones!
