Elevenses is a term used to indicate an 11:00 a.m. snack to include scones, tea cakes, biscuits or the like and tea. These almond tea cakes are not quite a tea cake, not quite a scone, but definitely elevenses worthy!
Ingredients:
sliced almonds
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 egg and one egg yolk, room temperature
1 cup agave sweetener
2 cups gluten free GF flour *
3/4 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to taste
1/2 - 1 teaspoon almond extract to taste
*if using a gluten free flour mix it may already have baking soda in it, then don't add the extra baking soda.
