Vanilla Lavender Scones

Comforting and delicious Vanilla Lavender Scones! Tea Time anyone??

I have totally fallen in love with lavender lately. I have a lavender mist for our sheets to make going to bed sweeter, I’m OBSESSED with our Lavender Lemonade, and now these pretty little Vanilla Lavender Scones. Perfect for tea time, breakfast, a mid-day snack, or anytime in between!

These are so cozy and comforting. Reminds me of high school history class when we all made scones…LONG before the days when I had ever cooked for fun.

These Vanilla Lavender Scones are a bit better, I must say!

I love the subtle lavender flavor. I added the purple food coloring for fun, but that is totally optional. It will taste the same without it. These scones make for a fun Easter Brunch idea!

Let’s all be classy tea time friends!! Enjoy :)

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/4 cups sugar
• 2 tsp lavender buds
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 egg
• 3 Tbsp butter melted
• 3 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• FOR GLAZE:
• 3 Tbsp milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• purple food coloring optional

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 325°F and grease a scone pan with nonstick spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, lavender buds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Stir in egg, butter, whipping cream, and vanilla. A crumbly dough will come together.
• You can either use a scone pan or turn out your dough onto a prepared baking sheet and cut into wedges. I chose a pan for convenience.
• Bake about 18 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned and firm to the touch. They will rise slightly.
• Remove from oven, transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
• While they are cooling, prepare your glaze. Mix together the powdered sugar with the milk until you achieve your desired consistency. For a more opaque glaze, add more sugar. Add food coloring if you desire, but that is completely optional.
• Drizzle cooled scones with glaze and allow to set for 15 minutes prior to serving. Enjoy!
