Ingredients
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cups cold butter, cut into pieces
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon lavender extract, optional
- 1 ½ cups blueberries
- melted butter, for brushing
lavender glaze
- 1 1/4 cups of powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon lavender extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 1/2 tablespoons milk
- a drop of light pink or purple food coloring, if you wish
- optional: culinary lavender flowers
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt. Add the butter and using your fingers, a fork or a pastry blender mix it together and combine until the butter forms coarse crumbs. I usually take a full 2-3 minutes and do this with my fingers. (Note: you can also add in 1 teaspoon of dried lavender flowers here, if you want to flavor the scones with the flowers!)
- Make a well in the center and add in buttermilk, vanilla extract and lavender extract (if using it). Mix with a large spoon until a dough forms and comes together – it will be sticky! Stir in the blueberries. Make sure your hands are floured and so is your work surface. Divide the dough in half and pat it into two 6-inch circles on the floured surface or one larger circle. Cut the circles into 6 or 8 wedges. Brush each with some melted butter. Place the scones on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes – or about 15ish minutes for larger scones. Top with the lavender glaze before serving.
lavender glaze
- To make the lavender glaze, whisk all ingredients together until smooth. If it seems too thick, add in more milk 1 teaspoon at a time. If desired, you can add a drop of food coloring to make it pinkish-purple! Drizzle on top of the cooled scones. Sprinkle the glaze with the lavender flowers.
