Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for brushing)

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4

In a separate bowl, whisk together cream, honey, and egg.

5

Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.

6

Gently fold in the lavender buds.

7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 2-3 times.

8

Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle and cut into 8 wedges.

9

Place scones on the prepared baking sheet and brush with milk.

10

Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

11

Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.

Chef's Notes

  • Make sure your butter is very cold for the best texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough - it should just come together.
  • Lavender can be strong, so start with 1 tablespoon and adjust to taste.
