SWEET LAVENDER SCONES

Steps:

• Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 425°F Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk 3 cups flour and next 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Add butter; rub in with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Whisk 1 cup buttermilk, zest, and vanilla in a small bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Stir until shaggy dough forms.
• Transfer to a lightly floured surface; knead until dough forms, about 5 turns. Pat into a 10x6" rectangle. Halve dough lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 4 squares. Cut each square diagonally in half into 2 triangles. Divide between baking sheets. Brush scones with 2 tablespoons buttermilk. Sprinkle with sanding sugar.
• Bake until scones are golden and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 13-15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cool.
• Serve warm or at room temperature with lemon curd.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, bring milk and lavender to a simmer. Transfer to a small bowl and let steep 15 minutes, then cover and chill for about 45 minutes. Strain milk and set aside; discard lavender.
• Preheat oven to 375°F In a food processor, whirl flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add butter and lemon zest and pulse to form a coarse meal. Add lavender-infused milk and pulse to form a shaggy dough.
• Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead 3 to 5 times.
• Form dough into a 6-inch wide circle. Cut into 6 wedges. Arrange wedges 2 inches apart on a baking sheet and bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

LAVENDER SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add walnuts and lavender, mixing until combined.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the egg, honey, buttermilk and vanilla. Stir to combine, mixing to form a soft dough. With floured hands, pat the dough into a round about 1 inch thick and cut into smaller rounds using a large cookie cutter.
• Place scones on a non-stick cookie sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from heat and serve warm or let cool before serving.

LEMON LAVENDER SCONES

Steps:

• First things first, make sure you are using matured lavender sugar if using homemade!
• Sift the flour, baking powder,salt, and lavender sugar together in a mixing bowl.
• Add the butter and lemon curd, mix until crumbly.
• With an electric beater on low, blend the milk into the mixture. It should be a pretty thick dough.
• Put some flour on your hands and knead the dough.
• Preheat the oven to 450F, and grease a cookie sheet. Lightly dust it with flour.
• Break off hunks of dough about the size of your palm (or maybe a little smaller), and flatten them a little, spacing them out on the baking sheet at least 2-3 inches apart.
• You can also roll the dough out if you like to use specialty biscuit/cookie cutters.
• Make a wash out of an egg white, and brush some on to the scone tops and sprinkle with some coarse sugar (namely more lavender sugar.).
• Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown on top. Let cool and serve with a nice honey-butter or other flavored butter, jam, or lavender cream.
