Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl, then
stir in the ground almonds. Add the butter, rubbing it
in until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in
the sultanas.
Make a well in the centre of the mixture
and pour in the milk and almond extract. Mix lightly
with a wooden spoon or fork until a soft dough is
formed.
Turn the dough on to a floured surface and knead
gently until smooth. Roll out to a thickness of 1
cm/1/2 inch and cut into rounds with a 5 cm/2 inch
cutter.
Place the scones on a lightly greased baking
sheet and brush the tops gently with milk.
Bake the
scones in a preheated oven, 200°C
(400°F),
Gas Mark 6, for
7-10
minutes, or until they are well risen and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
