LEMON LAVENDER SCONES
I was inspired by English scone recipes and decided to make two great tastes that taste great together! Rather than rolling out, these are simple drop scones. There are several recipes for lavender sugar out there (cheaper but takes about 3-4 weeks to mature), or you can use storebought (more expensive and not really something you can find easily in grocery stores, but it's ready to eat and use.)

Steps:
- First things first, make sure you are using matured lavender sugar if using homemade!
- Sift the flour, baking powder,salt, and lavender sugar together in a mixing bowl.
- Add the butter and lemon curd, mix until crumbly.
- With an electric beater on low, blend the milk into the mixture. It should be a pretty thick dough.
- Put some flour on your hands and knead the dough.
- Preheat the oven to 450F, and grease a cookie sheet. Lightly dust it with flour.
- Break off hunks of dough about the size of your palm (or maybe a little smaller), and flatten them a little, spacing them out on the baking sheet at least 2-3 inches apart.
- You can also roll the dough out if you like to use specialty biscuit/cookie cutters.
- Make a wash out of an egg white, and brush some on to the scone tops and sprinkle with some coarse sugar (namely more lavender sugar.).
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown on top. Let cool and serve with a nice honey-butter or other flavored butter, jam, or lavender cream.

LEMON AND LAVENDER SCONES
These lovely old-fashioned scones are very light; they will literally melt in your mouth! The recipe is very versatile. Substitute your favorite flavor of yogurt and add a tablespoon or two of a chopped complementary fruit, raisins, or currants instead of the lavender. Serve with honey, fruit preserves, or if you're lucky enough to be able to get it, clotted cream.

SF BLUEBERRY, LEMON & LAVENDER SCONES
I have been working on shifting some of my favorite recipes as I have shifted to a lower sugar diet for health reasons. PLUS, my local shop had been out for 2 weeks! So I was desperate. These are a great substitute and a great recipe to make other combinations! SMALL BATCH - I am transitioning to cook for 1. Note: due to fresh fruit they do soften and fruit bleeds as they sit.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425° F (220° C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone liner.
- Measure out heavy cream (I use a glass measuring cup big enough to mix additional ingredients), warm slightly in the microwave (15-20 seconds) open tea bag/use loose leaf tea pour into cream to steep.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- Using a pastry blender, a fork, or your fingertips, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
- Using a fine mesh sieve, strain cream (if you choose). In a small bowl (or glass measuring cup), whisk together cream, egg yolk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Pour into flour mixture and stir until just combined. DO NOT OVER MIX! Gently stir in the blueberries.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead very lightly and form a 5" x 5" circle that is 1" thick. Cut circle into four wedges and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Whisk reserved egg white, and brush over wedges. Sprinkle with additional Monkfruit if you desire. Bake 12-13 minutes, until golden brown.
- Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- GLAZE: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sweetener and lemon juice until smooth. Spoon over cooled scones. Enjoy.
LEMON LAVENDER BLUEBERRY SCONES
Outta Sight! Healthy, reduced fat, and unbelievably tasty! I served these at a family brunch and they were received quite well. If omitting the fruit, add nuts for textural stimulation. These would be great at Easter Brunch or in late summer when blueberries and lavender are in season. Recipe adapted from jemangelaville.com recipe

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
- Use Cold Butter: Cold butter is easier to work with and will create flakier scones. If your butter is too soft, it will make the scones tough.
- Don't Overwork the Dough: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the scones to rise and create a more tender crumb.
- Brush with Milk: Before baking, brush the tops of the scones with milk. This will help them to brown and give them a shiny glaze.
- Bake at a High Temperature: Scones should be baked at a high temperature (425°F) for a short amount of time. This will help them to rise quickly and create a crispy exterior.
Conclusion:
Lemon and lavender scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or afternoon tea. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect scones every time.
