Best 5 Old Fashioned English Lavender Tea Scones Recipes

OLD FASHIONED ENGLISH LAVENDER TEA SCONES

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 220C/450F, then lightly flour a baking tray.
• Sift the flour with the baking powder & salt. Rub the butter with the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar.
• Make a deep well in the flour, pour in the liquid and mix to a soft doughy texture with your hands. Sprinkle on the lavender flowers and knead into the dough very lightly until it is just smooth. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured board & cut out scone rounds.
• Brush the scones with the beaten egg, and sprinkle a few lavender flowers on top if you wish.
• Bake in oven for 7 - 10 minutes or until well risen and brown. Leave to cool. Serve with butter, lavender honey or lavender-infused cream.

Steps:

• Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 425°F Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk 3 cups flour and next 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Add butter; rub in with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Whisk 1 cup buttermilk, zest, and vanilla in a small bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Stir until shaggy dough forms.
• Transfer to a lightly floured surface; knead until dough forms, about 5 turns. Pat into a 10x6" rectangle. Halve dough lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 4 squares. Cut each square diagonally in half into 2 triangles. Divide between baking sheets. Brush scones with 2 tablespoons buttermilk. Sprinkle with sanding sugar.
• Bake until scones are golden and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 13-15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cool.
• Serve warm or at room temperature with lemon curd.

SUNSHINE FARM LAVENDER TEA SCONES

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!
