1/2 cup butter or margarine (firm)
2 cups Gold Medal� all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped almonds, toasted
1 egg
1/2 cup half-and-half

1. Heat oven to 400�F.
2. Make Almond Streusel; set aside.
3. Cut butter into flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in almonds. Stir in egg and just enough half-and-half so dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball.
