Ingredients
For the Scones
- 2 cups AP flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons butter cold, cubed
- Zest from 1 large orange or two small oranges about 1 tablespoon
- 3 teaspoons fresh lavender chopped, see note for substitutions
- 1 ¼ cups heavy cream you may not need to use it all, see step 5.
For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Juice from 1 large orange or two small oranges about ¼ - ⅓ cup
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- half and half enough to adjust consistency
Instructions
For the Scones
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut cold butter into the flour until it is about the size of a pea.
- Stir in orange zest and lavender.
- Add cream slowly, mixing as you pour, until the dough just starts to come together. It will be crumbly.
- Gently knead together with your hands, being careful not to over work the dough or handle it more than necessary.
- Form it into a rectangle that is about 12 inches long and 4 inches wide.
- For larger scones: cut the rectangle into 3 equal pieces, and then cut each of the 3 pieces in half diagonally.
- For smaller scones: cut the rectangle into 4 equal pieces, and then cut each of the 4 pieces in half diagonally.
- Place on a lined or sprayed cookie sheet and bake in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges just start to turn golden brown.
- Let cool.
For the Glaze
- Combine powdered sugar, orange juice, and vanilla.
- The glaze should be pourable, if it needs thinning, add a half and half a teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Once scones are cooled, pour glaze evenly over each scone. Let set before packaging.

Notes
- If you don't have access to fresh lavender, you can substitute dried, just half the amount you add to 1 ½ teaspoons.
- If you don't have any lavender, rosemary or thyme can also be used but only use 1 ½ teaspoons fresh, ¾ teaspoon if using dried.
