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

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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. 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!)
  3. 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
  1. 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.
