Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Quickly cut in the butter using a dough blender, two forks, or your fingers until blended and no pieces are larger than a pea.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the dried lavender, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla bean paste.
- Gently mix the cream mixture into the dry ingredients and knead just until the dough comes together. Add a little more cream a splash at a time only if the dough is too crumbly to hold together. It should not be sticky.
- On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough just enough to make it smooth. Do not overmix.
- Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch (1.25 centimeters) thick.
- Cut the scones into 9 equal squares or into the desired size.
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheet at least 2 inches (5 centimeters) apart.
- Brush the tops of the scones with a thin layer of heavy cream and bake in preheated oven until lightly golden, 10-15 minutes.
- Gently transfer the scones to a wire rack and cool to room temperature.
- Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl.
- Whisk in the milk and vanilla bean paste until a smooth glaze forms.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones and immediately sprinkle with a small pinch of dried lavender, if desired.
- Allow the glaze to set before serving. These Lavender Vanilla Scones are best the day they are baked.
