Recipe type: Scones
Cuisine: British
Serves: 8 small scones
Ingredients
  • 1½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ stick of cold unsalted better
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon dried lavender buds
  • ¼ cup fresh blueberry
  • 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of water to make egg wash
  • raw sugar to sprinkle on the top
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 ºF.
  2. Add sugar and lavender into a food processor. Process until they are combined, about 20 seconds on low.
  3. Combine flour, lavender sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl.
  4. Cut cold butter into small cubes. Add them into the flour bowl. Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or if you can throw the flour mixture and butter in the food processor and pulse a few times until it resembles a coarse meal.
  5. Add buttermilk into the flour. Mix together using a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. The trick to making light scones is to never overmix the dough. Add the blueberries and mix together gently.
  6. Transfer dough on to a floured surface. Form the dough into a round, ¾ inch thick disk. Flour your knife and cut evenly into 8 pieces.
  7. Transfer the scones on to the baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silpat.
  8. Prepare egg wash by beating one egg and a teaspoon of water in a small bowl. Brush the top of each scone with the egg wash.
  9. Sprinkle with raw sugar, bake for about 15 minutes until the top is golden brown. Serve warm with a cup of coffee or tea.
