Ingredients and Directions for Lavender Blueberry Scones

Experience the delicious blend of lavender and blueberry in these scones. They are soft inside with juicy blueberries. Enjoy them for breakfast or as a snack.

The Ingredients:

Here is what you need for making these scones:

Ingredients	Quantity
All-Purpose Flour	2 cups (63.9% of the dry ingredients)
Baking Powder	2 tablespoons
Kosher Salt	¼ teaspoon
Granulated Sugar	¼ cup
Dried Lavender Flowers	½ tablespoon
Unsalted Butter	5 tablespoons
Whole Milk	¾ cup
Frozen Blueberries	1 cup (1 ½ cups)
Turbinado Sugar	1 tablespoon

Start by heating your oven to 425°F. Cover a large tray with parchment paper for less mess.

The Directions:

1. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and lavender in a bowl.

2. Add small cubes of butter to the mix. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingers until it looks like coarse crumbs.

3. Slowly add the milk, mixing gently. Be careful not to overmix it.

4. Fold in the blueberries gently to avoid crushing them. This adds to the scone’s look and taste.

5. Tip the dough onto a surface with a bit of flour. Knead it a few times to bring everything together.

6. Shape the dough into a circle. Use a cutter to make scones. Put them on your tray, spaced out.

7. Brush the scone tops with milk for a gold colour. Add turbinado sugar for crunch.

8. Bake for 10-12 minutes for small scones or 15 minutes for bigger ones. They should turn golden.

The Perfect Scone Texture and Tips for Making Lavender Blueberry Scones

Using frozen blueberries is key to the perfect scone texture. They keep their shape better than fresh ones during baking. This means your scones will have juicy blueberry bursts without ruining the texture.

Eating lavender blueberry scones fresh and warm is best. If you have leftovers, they’ll keep in the fridge for three days. To freshen them up, warm in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes or in a pan for about 5 minutes.

To keep the scone dough cold, wash your hands in ice water. This trick maintains the butter’s texture. Also, frozen grated butter mixes into dry ingredients better. This makes the scones tender and crumbly.

Getting scones into the oven quickly after shaping is important. It ensures they rise well and become flaky. When they are baked, let them cool before adding a glaze. A simple icing made of powdered sugar and lemon juice works great. It brings a tangy sweetness that goes perfectly with lavender and blueberries.
