Ingredients
3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour2 tablespoons sugar5 teaspoons baking powder1 teaspoon salt1/2 cup cold butter, cubed4 large eggs1 cup heavy whipping cream1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons almond extract1 cup semisweet chocolate chips1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
Preparation
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk 3 eggs, cream and extract; add to crumb mixture just until moistened. Gently stir in chips and almonds. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 6-8 times.
On a greased baking sheet, pat dough into a 10-1/2-in. circle, about 3/4 in. thick. Cut into eight wedges. Beat remaining egg; brush over dough. Slightly separate wedges.
Bake at 425° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
