  4. Next, as the scones are baking, make the Scone Glaze by combining 1 1/2 c. Powdered Sugar and 3 tsp. of Oat Milk. Stir until smooth, and then set aside.
  5. Then, take the baked scones out of the oven and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet.
  6. Next, let the scones cool slightly (about 5-10 minutes) prior to serving. Drizzle them with the Scone glaze and decorate the tops with crushed, sliced almonds.
  7. Finally, serve them alongside fresh, local honey, clotted cream, jam, or tea. Enjoy!
