How to use up leftover flaked almonds

Almondy scones
Mix and shape a classic scone recipe (search deliciousmagazine.co.uk). Brush milk over the scones and sprinkle with flaked almonds and brown sugar before baking.
Almond and herb salsa
Toast a large handful of flaked almonds in a dry frying pan. Put in a mini chopper with a bunch each of fresh parsley and basil. Add grated parmesan, a pinch of salt and some lemon juice, then whizz. With the motor running, drizzle in olive oil to make a pesto. Serve with fish or pasta.
