Instructions
-
Prep dry mix:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, lemon zest, and crushed lavender.
-
Cut in butter:
Use a pastry cutter or fingers to rub butter into dry mix until it looks like coarse crumbs. -
Add liquids:
Stir in cream, vanilla, and optional lemon juice just until dough comes together (don’t overmix). -
Shape:
Turn dough onto a floured surface. Pat into a circle about ¾” thick. Cut into wedges or use a round cutter. -
Chill (optional):
Chill scones 15–20 minutes for flakier texture. -
Bake:
Brush tops with cream. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes until golden on top and edges. -
Glaze (optional):
Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle over warm scones and garnish with extra lavender if desired.
