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:

Chill (optional):
Chill scones 15–20 minutes for flakier texture. -
