Lavender Scones image

I saw this recipe in the May 2007 issue of Sunset Magazine and just had to post it! After suggestions from Mikekey and Alskann I have halved the amount of lemon zest and doubled the amount of lavender. Thanks for the help.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest

Steps:

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, bring milk and lavender to a simmer. Transfer to a small bowl and let steep 15 minutes, then cover and chill for about 45 minutes. Strain milk and set aside; discard lavender.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F In a food processor, whirl flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add butter and lemon zest and pulse to form a coarse meal. Add lavender-infused milk and pulse to form a shaggy dough.
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead 3 to 5 times.
  • Form dough into a 6-inch wide circle. Cut into 6 wedges. Arrange wedges 2 inches apart on a baking sheet and bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
