This recipe comes from Herb Companion magazine. Lavender scones made a lovely, exotic treat with herbal tea on a winter afternoon. They pair well with apricot jam, clotted cream, lemon curd, or cream cheese. Enjoy! Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
1/2 cup rolled oats |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup butter |
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped |
1 1/2 tablespoons lavender flowers, fresh |
1 egg, beaten |
1/3 cup honey |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add walnuts and lavender, mixing until combined.
2. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the egg, honey, buttermilk and vanilla. Stir to combine, mixing to form a soft dough. With floured hands, pat the dough into a round about 1 inch thick and cut into smaller rounds using a large cookie cutter.
3. Place scones on a non-stick cookie sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from heat and serve warm or let cool before serving.
