Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2
Cut the cold butter into cubes, then use your fingertips or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Add the egg, milk, and vanilla sugar. Quickly mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
4
Once the dough comes together, add the chopped almonds and gently fold them in.
5
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and form it into a disc about 1 inch (3 cm) thick.
6
Cut the disc into 6-8 wedges and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
7
Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes before serving fresh.
