Ingredients

See full recipe below for complete list of ingredients and their measurements

• All Purpose flour: Measure flour accurately. Scooping flour in a measuring cup into your flour leads to using too much flour. Use a spoon to sprinkle flour into your measuring cup and swipe off excess flour with the back of a knife. Alternatively, you can weigh your flour. 1 cup of flour equals 125 grams.
• Baking Powder: This is what will make our scones rise.
• Unsalted Butter: It’s best to use frozen butter. I also like to grate it. You can chop the butter, but using grated butter makes it easier to incorporate it with the flour without having to mix it too much.
• Heavy Cream: Whole milk or buttermilk can also be used.
• An Egg Yolk: Use an egg yolk from a large egg.
• Brown Sugar:Use light or brown.
• Vanilla Extract:For extra flavor
• Culinary Lavender: English Lavender is the most common type of lavender used for cooking. I found mine in a Middle Eastern store, but I’ve also seen it sold online. If you enjoy baking with fresh flavors like lavender, I highly recommend trying my Lemon Rosemary Olive Oil Cake.
• Milk: For brushing the tops.
• Coarse Sugar: For sprinkling.

Instructions

Please see full recipe below for measurements and baking time.

Step One- Grate a stick of frozen butter.

Step Two- Combine the dry ingredients. Combine the dry ingredients with the grated butter.

Step Three- Whisk to combine the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients over the flour/butter mixture. Stir til combined.

Step Four–Shape the dough into a circle about 1-1 1/2 inches thick. Cut the dough into 8 triangles. (For heart shaped scones, roll the dough out to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a 3 and 3/4 inch heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out hearts).Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step Five- Bake 17-20 minutes.

Expert Tips

Don’t Overwork the Dough: Overworking the dough will result in a dense, heavy texture.

Keep Your Ingredients Cold: Cold ingredients help keep the butter from melting before it hits the oven. Cold butter will help make the scones nice and flaky. Make sure to use cold eggs, cold cream or milk, and cold butter.

Freeze and Grate Your Butter:Place your butter in the freezer the night before or a few hours before making the scones. Grate it using the large holes of a box grater. Place the butter back into the freezer for at least 15 minutes after grating it.

Chill Before Baking: Mixing and shaping the dough will cause the ingredients to warm up a bit. After cutting the scones, chill for at least 15 minutes.
