Lavender Scones

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, 2 tablespoons of lavender buds, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.

Using a pastry blender, combine butter with dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir the lemon juice and vanilla into the milk.

Add milk to dry ingredients and combine.   

In a small bowl, mix one tablespoon of sugar and one tablespoon of lavender buds.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead quickly until dough takes shape.

Pat dough into a rectangle shape, about one inch thick. 

Cut the rectangle lengthwise and then each rectangle in half. Cut each piece diagonally in half so that you end up with eight triangles.

Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops of the scones with the lavender sugar.

Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.

Cool on a wire rack.
