The Perfect Recipe for Lavender Honey Scones

If you’re into a sweet, floral treat with a delightful flaky feel, these Lavender Honey Scones are just right. You can whip up these homemade scones quickly with this easy recipe.

Ingredients:

8 tablespoons of butter
¾ cup of cold coconut milk
2 tablespoons of dried culinary lavender flowers
2 cups of all-purpose unbleached flour
¼ cup of raw sugar
2 ¼ teaspoons of baking powder
½ teaspoon of fine sea salt
1 large egg
1 teaspoon of natural vanilla extract

Preparation:

Begin by chopping the butter into cubes. Then freeze it for about 15 minutes.
Warm the coconut milk in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in the lavender. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Then, strain out the lavender.
In a big bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the chilled butter to the dry mix. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend until it looks like crumbs.
In another bowl, whisk together the lavender-infused milk, egg, and vanilla.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients just until they come together.
Place the dough on a floured surface. Knead a few times, then shape into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Cut this rectangle into squares, and then each square diagonally to make triangles.
Put the scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix an egg with a bit of milk. Use this to brush the scones and then sprinkle sugar on top.
Bake at 400°F for about 15 minutes, or until they’re golden and cooked through.

Best served warm, these Lavender Honey Scones go great with honey butter or jam. They’re also lovely with tea or coffee in the afternoon.

Serving Suggestions:

To make them even more special, offer the scones with homemade honey butter. Blend 4 tablespoons of butter with ⅓ cup of honey. Spread this on the warm scones for a luscious treat.

Storage Recommendation:

Keep the scones on a wire rack for 3 to 4 days. Reheat them in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes to make them flaky again.

Get creative!

Enhance your scones with different toppings. For a fruity touch, try a lavender blackberry glaze. Just mix lavender, blackberries, lemon juice, water, and confectioner’s sugar. Drizzle it over your scones for added sweetness.
