Makes 8
Ingredients
  • 3 cups (375 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15 grams) baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon (3 grams) lemon zest
  • ¾ teaspoon (2.25 grams) kosher salt
  • ¾ cup (170 grams) cold unsalted butter, grated
  • ½ cup (57 grams) sliced almonds
  • 1 cup (240 grams) whole milk
  • 1 large egg (50 grams)
  • Cardamom Streusel Topping (recipe follows)
  • Lemon Glaze (recipe follows)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, zest, and salt. Add cold butter, tossing to coat. Cover and freeze for 15 minutes. Stir in almonds.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and egg. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring and folding just until moistened.
  4. Turn out dough onto a heavily floured surface. Using well-floured hands, knead dough 5 to 10 times, about 1 minute. Shape dough into an 8-inch circle. Top with Cardamom Streusel Topping. Using a bench scraper or sharp knife, cut into 8 wedges. Place about 1½ inches apart on prepared pan. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  5. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely. Drizzle with Lemon Glaze.
