Playing in the Kitchen/Almond Meal Scones

 Almond Meal Scones or Almond Buns

Pre-heat oven to 350* and lightly grease a baking sheet.

Mix:
10oz (2 & 1/2 cups) Blanched Almond Meal (we buy the bulk from Azure)
1/2 tea. Salt
1/2 tea. Baking Soda

In a separate container mix: (I like to use the hand mixer)
1/2 cup Eggs (about 2-3 eggs)
1/3 cup Oil  (I use olive or rice bran oil)
1/8 cup (or less) Agave or other liquid sweetener (I use a blend) 

Stir everything together,
drop by large cookie dropper or 1/4 cups, flatten a little,
and bake 12-17 minutes (15-16 in our oven).  Test with a toothpick, promptly remove from the pan (they will stick if you don't), and allow to cool on a wire rack.

They can live on the counter a few days but they do really well in the fridge, and they freeze well too.  =)   Enjoy slathered with butter, and maybe some jam!

FYI:
 You can add 1/8 C. more sweetener, 1tea Vanilla & 1 C. Mini Chocolate chips, and make some pretty good cookies (best pretty much right out of the oven or frozen)!

P.S.
 Our doubled recipe looks like this:

20oz almond
1 tea each salt & soda

(in a 2 cup glass measure) Just under 1 cup eggs, then add oil- up to the 1 & 1/3c line. (so eggs and oil are 1 & 1/3c total)
then add 1/4c sweetener.  =)
