Before baking, I let my dough sit for 10 minutes to overnight. Apply dough to a sprayed/oiled cookie sheet or parchment.

Scones should be golden brown after 12–18 minutes. Our almond flour scone may look mushy and undercooked when it comes out of the oven, but the ridges are golden.

Let scones cool on wire rack before frosting! Room-temperature cream cheese mixes best with other ingredients.
