Ingredients

  • flour
    2 ½ c
  • sugar
    ⅓ c
  • baking powder
    4 tsp
  • salt
    ½ tsp
  • cold butter
    1 stick
  • lavender buds
    2 tbsp
  • heavy cream

    plus extra for brushing

    1 ⅓ c

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 deg F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and stir together.

  2. 2

    Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles small pea-sized pieces. Add the lavender.

  3. 3

    Stir the heavy cream into the dry ingredients until it forms a dough. Turn the dough out onto the counter. Dust with flour and pat into a smooth ball. Cut the dough in half.

  4. 4

    Shape one half into a ball and press out into a 1/2-inch thick disc about 6 inches in diameter. Cut the dough into 6 wedges. Transfer the scones to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.

  5. 5

    Brush the tops of the scones with a little heavy cream. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes until golden brown. Slide the parchment from the baking sheet onto a cooling rack or counter. Allow the scones to cool. Serve with Devonshire cream, jam, and a pot of tea!

About this Recipe

Imagine a delicate scone, infused with the subtle floral notes of lavender and the rich creaminess you crave. These Lavender Cream Scones offer a truly special baking experience, perfect for elevating any morning or afternoon tea.

The magic of these scones lies in the simple, high-quality ingredients, particularly the cold butter and heavy cream, which ensure a tender crumb and rich flavor. The inclusion of aromatic lavender buds infuses each bite with a fragrant, unique taste that sets them apart from ordinary baked goods.

With each bite of these Lavender Cream Scones, you'll discover a wonderfully tender interior, complemented by a delicate, slightly crisp exterior. The subtle floral essence of lavender beautifully balances the richness of the cream, creating a sophisticated yet comforting flavor profile. They're not overly sweet, allowing the natural goodness of the ingredients to shine through, making them an ideal treat for any time of day.

While these scones shine with lavender, you could omit the lavender for a classic cream scone base, perfect for pairing with jams. For a different aromatic touch, consider incorporating a tablespoon of orange zest alongside the lavender for a bright, citrusy note.

These elegant Lavender Cream Scones are perfect for a special breakfast, a sophisticated brunch, or as a delightful companion to your afternoon tea. Serve them warm, perhaps with a dollop of clotted cream or your favorite fruit preserves, for an truly indulgent experience.
