2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted and finely chopped

Preheat oven to 450u00b0.

Lightly spoon the flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine the flour and the next 5 ingredients (flour through baking soda) in a bowl, and cut in the butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk, and stir just until moist.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead lightly 5 or 6 times. Roll dough to a 1/2-inch thickness, and cut with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter into 8 shortcakes. Place the shortcakes on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake at 450u00b0 for 10 minutes or until golden. Remove shortcakes from baking sheet; cool on a wire rack.
