1 1/2 cup flour (whole wheat, white whole wheat, or whole wheat pastry)
1/2 cup almond meal
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
1 egg
1/2 cup gooseberry jam
1/2 cup cold buttermilk
Spiced sugar to garnish
Preheat oven to 375°.
Stir together the flour, almond meal, salt, and baking powder.
Cut in the butter until it thoroughly mixed, no chunks of butter.
Stir in the buttermilk, egg, and jam. It will be a very soft and wet dough. Turn it out onto a floured counter and knead it, very gently, adding in enough flour to make the dough cohesive. Roll it out to about 1/2"-3/4" thick and cut out rounds.
Sprinkle spiced sugar on the top of each round, place them on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment, and bake for 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown.
