My daughter picked these out for a tea party we had the other day and they were great! I didn't add the almonds - didn't have them on hand. I did add a bit more cream than the recipe stated because my dough was too dry. I also shaped mine into a disk and then cut it into eight triangles. They really turned out great. These were best right out of the oven. Thanks for posting!
