Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, dried lavender, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and the egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the scones tough.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead the dough a few times, then press it into a round disk about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges. Arrange the wedges on the baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and cooked through.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the scones with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
