Categories     Breakfast and Brunch Recipes

Time 37m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c unbleached all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp sugar
4 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, cold
⅔ c milk
1 egg yolk beaten with 1 Tbsp milk, (to glaze)
Strawberry jam, (to serve)
Clotted cream, at room temerature (to serve)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 425F.
  • In a medium bowl, place the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter. Rub the mixture together with your fingers to break up the butter, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Add the milk slowly, mixing as you add, using enough of the milk to get your dough to come together with no lumps remaining. (Your dough should be quite sticky. If a good consistency is not achieved with the listed amount of milk, continue adding until your dough reaches a good consistency.)
  • Spoon the dough out until a well-floured surface. Generously dust the top of the dough and knead the dough 2-3 times to coat it with flour and smooth the surface. Press the dough into a round that is roughly 1 inch thick.
  • Using a well-floured cookie cutter, cut the dough into 2 inch circles. (Be sure to press the cookie cutter straight down and up. Twisting the cookie cutter will impact the amount of rise you get on your scones.)
  • Place the rounds onto a greased and floured baking sheet. Brush them gently with the egg yolk and milk mixture.
  • Bake the scones for 12-15 minutes, until golden and firm.
  • Remove the baked scones from the oven and let them cool for 30 minutes (if you can resist). If you like softer scones, cover them with a clean tea towel as they cool.

These are some of the best scones I've ever eaten! From my friend Cameron. Lovely served warm or cooled with butter, recipe #247961 or recipe #383209, lemon curd, or British clotted cream--and a cup of tea!

Categories     Scones

Time 30m

Yield 1 dozen Lavender Scones, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (substitute whole wheat if desired)
1/2 cup sugar (I use turbinado sugar or organic cane instead of refined white)
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 tablespoons culinary lavender
3/4 teaspoon salt (I use Kosher or sea salt)
3/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest (I use a microplane, or fresh orange zest)
1 cup buttermilk (lowfat is okay)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lavender in a large bowl.
  • Add butter and beat with an electric mixer (or pastry blender) until well blended.
  • Stir in zest.
  • Pour in buttermilk and mix until blended.
  • Gather dough into a ball and divide in half (I use a knife).
  • On lightly floured surface, roll each half into a circle.
  • Cut into wedges. (TIPS from Cameron: I make mine thick so that I get 6 scones (pie shaped wedges) out of each half. Use parchment paper to reduce the amount of flour needed. I also tend to hand shape, rather than roll the circle. Cut the wedges with a sharp knife. I gently tap the 3 sides of the scones on the parchment to make smooth edges.).
  • Place scones on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 400° F oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden.
  • Serve warm or cooled with butter, and choice of lavender syrup or jam, honey, lemon curd, or British clotted cream, and a nice cup of tea!

Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are cold before starting. This will help the scones stay light and fluffy.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch (1.25 cm).
  • Cut the scones into 2-inch (5 cm) circles.
  • Place the scones on a greased baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops of the scones with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake the scones for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Conclusion:

These old-fashioned English lavender tea scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for a teatime snack or a light breakfast. The scones are light and fluffy, with a delicate lavender flavor. They are also naturally gluten-free, making them a good option for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
