1 cup chopped toasted almonds
1/2 cup sugar -- plus, divided
1 tablespoon sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 cup butter -- chilled, cut up
3 eggs
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt -- or buttermilk
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
1. Heat oven to 400F. Lightly grease large baking sheet or line with
parchment paper.
2. Process flour, chopped almonds, 1/2 cup of the sugar, baking
powder and cardamom in food processor. Add butter; process until
mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-size pieces. Place in large bowl.
