Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon Dried culinary lavender flowers
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1/2 cup Powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for optional glaze)
- 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for optional glaze)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut in the chilled, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently stir in the dried lavender flowers, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it into a cohesive ball.
Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick and cut into 8 wedges.
Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on the edges.
Let the scones cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, or enjoy warm.
For an optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over the cooled scones before serving.
