LEMON AND LAVENDER SCONES
These lovely old-fashioned scones are very light; they will literally melt in your mouth! The recipe is very versatile. Substitute your favorite flavor of yogurt and add a tablespoon or two of a chopped complementary fruit, raisins, or currants instead of the lavender. Serve with honey, fruit preserves, or if you're lucky enough to be able to get it, clotted cream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Stir baking soda and yogurt together in a bowl.
- Sift flour, 1/3 cup sugar, and baking powder together in a bowl. Cut cold butter into flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture is crumbly.
- Mix yogurt mixture, 2 tablespoons melted butter, egg, lavender, and lemon zest in a separate bowl. Stir yogurt-lavender mixture into flour mixture until just moistened.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 8 to 10 times, adding more flour if dough is too sticky.
- Divide dough into 2 pieces and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Pat and shape each piece into a 6-inch circle. Score each circle into 6 wedges using a sharp floured knife. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon melted butter; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon white sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until scones are just golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven, break into wedges, and cool on a wire rack.

LEMON LAVENDER SCONES
I was inspired by English scone recipes and decided to make two great tastes that taste great together! Rather than rolling out, these are simple drop scones. There are several recipes for lavender sugar out there (cheaper but takes about 3-4 weeks to mature), or you can use storebought (more expensive and not really something you can find easily in grocery stores, but it's ready to eat and use.)

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.

- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine 1/3 cup sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl and massage them together using your fingertips. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and whisk until well combined.
- Using the large holes of a box grater, grate frozen butter into dry ingredients; using a fork, toss together until butter shreds are coated. In a large measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk egg into 3/4 cup cream until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a fork, stir in cream mixture until just combined. (The dough should be crumbly; do not overwork.)

Brush tops with remaining tablespoon of cream and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Let cool then using a spatula, transfer scones to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, whisk confectioners' sugar with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, adding more lemon juice by the 1/2 teaspoon as needed until it has a thick glaze consistency, similar to honey. Using a spoon, drizzle glaze over cooled scones; let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
LEMON LAVENDER BLUEBERRY SCONES
Outta Sight! Healthy, reduced fat, and unbelievably tasty! I served these at a family brunch and they were received quite well. If omitting the fruit, add nuts for textural stimulation. These would be great at Easter Brunch or in late summer when blueberries and lavender are in season. Recipe adapted from jemangelaville.com recipe

DAIRY-FREE LAVENDER LEMON SCONES RECIPE BY TASTY
Here's what you need: lemon, almond milk, whole wheat pastry flour, organic cane sugar, baking powder, salt, poppy seeds, food-grade lavender, coconut oil, large egg, powdered sugar

Yield 8 servings

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Zest the lemon into a small bowl and set aside.
- Juice the lemon and set aside 1 teaspoon for the glaze. Combine the rest with ½ cup (120 ml) of almond milk and set aside for 5-10 minutes while you make the rest of the dough. (The almond milk will curdle, that's okay! This creates a dairy-free substitute for buttermilk.)
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, poppy seeds, and lavender. Whisk well.
- Add the coconut oil and cut it into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter, a fork, or your fingers until the flour mixture is crumbly and there are no large chunks left.
- Add the lemon zest, curdled almond milk, and egg. Fold the ingredients until the dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle with just enough flour to keep the dough from sticking as you form it into a disc about 1½-2 inches (4-5 cm) thick.
- Cut the dough into 8 triangular scones. Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, remaining 1-2 teaspoons of almond milk, and the reserved teaspoon of lemon juice. Whisk until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones and let it harden, 5-10 minutes.
- Serve with hot tea.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- For a more intense lavender flavor, use culinary lavender buds or dried lavender flowers. Fresh lavender sprigs can also be used, but they should be chopped finely before adding to the dough.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make sure the scones are cooked evenly, place them in the oven so that they are not touching each other.
- Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or curd. They can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
These lemon and lavender scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. The combination of lemon and lavender is refreshing and flavorful, and the scones are light and fluffy. Whether you're serving them for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, these scones are sure to be a hit.
