---

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 18 minutes | Total Time: 33 minutes

Ingredients:

• For the scones:

  2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  1/4 cup granulated sugar

  1 tbsp and 1 tsp baking powder

  1/4 tsp salt

  Zest of 1-2 lemons

  2 tsp lavender

  5 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

  1 large egg

  3/4 cup whole milk

  1 tsp vanilla extract

• For the glaze:

  1/2 cup powdered sugar

  1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions (yields 12 scones):

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, lemon zest, and lavender together in a medium bowl.

• Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry blender to cut into the flour until it resembles crumbs.

• Remove 2 tbsp of milk and set aside. Whisk the remaining milk, egg, and vanilla together in a small bowl, then add the mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until just combined.

• Using your hands, combine the dough into a ball, then place it onto a lightly floured surface and press it out into a 1-inch thick round or rectangle.

• Cut dough into desired shape and place onto a lined baking sheet. Repeat with all the dough.

• Brush the tops of the scones with the 2 tbsp of reserved milk and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden.

• While the scones bake, mix the powdered sugar and lemon together in a small bowl and adjust the ingredients until desired consistency is reached.

• Remove the scones from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze (or honey) over the scones and serve.
