Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
2 tblsp lemon rind
1/2 tsp salt
2 tblsp butter
2 large eggs separated
1 cup buttermilk
1 tblsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tblsp organic lavender flower
8 tblsp chopped toasted walnuts
2 tblsp currants

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 then toast walnuts for approx 6 minutes. Set walnuts aside to cool. Prepare baking sheet by brushing the surface with olive oil. Prepare glaze: Whisk together 2 egg whites and one tblsp water. Set aside. Mix: flour, sugar, baking powder, rind and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter. Blend mixture using fingertips or pastry blender until texture resembles coarse meal. Whisk yolks, buttermilk and vanilla in a small bowl. Slowly stir buttermilk mixture into flour. Gently stir in toasted walnuts, lavender flowers and currants. Knead gently on lightly floured surface (about six turns). Divide dough in half. Gently press each half into approx 6" rounds. Cut each round into 6 wedges. Transfer scones to the prepared baking sheet. Brush scones with the prepared glaze. Bake until scones are light brown - about 15 minutes.

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a bit more milk or cream to the batter next time. However, the flavor of the scones was delicious and I would definitely make them again.

I made these scones with honey instead of sugar and they turned out great! The honey added a delicious sweetness to the scones and I would definitely recommend using honey if you're looking for a healthier option.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I also found the texture to be a bit too crumbly. However, I think these scones would be perfect for someone who likes sweet and crumbly scones.

I'm not a huge fan of walnuts, so I substituted pecans in this recipe and they turned out great! The pecans added a nice crunch and nutty flavor to the scones. I would definitely recommend using pecans if you're not a fan of walnuts.

These scones were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly! I used a lavender simple syrup to brush on top of the scones before baking and it added a delicious extra flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.

I made these scones with gluten-free flour and they turned out great! They were just as light and fluffy as the original recipe. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone with gluten sensitivities.

These scones were a bit too dense for my taste. I also found the lavender flavor to be a bit too strong. However, my husband loved them, so I'm giving them 3 stars.
