Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
- 0.75 cups heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently crush the dried lavender with your fingers or a mortar and pestle to release its aroma, then mix it into the dry ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing as it can make the scones tough.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 wedges, like a pie. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden on top. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
While the scones are cooling, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled scones, allowing it to set for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature alongside your favorite tea or coffee. Enjoy!
