Lavender Scones image

I saw this recipe in the May 2007 issue of Sunset Magazine and just had to post it! After suggestions from Mikekey and Alskann I have halved the amount of lemon zest and doubled the amount of lavender. Thanks for the help.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • Preheat oven to 375°F In a food processor, whirl flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

I've never been a fan of scones, but these lavender scones changed my mind. They're so light and fluffy, and the lavender flavor is just perfect. Will definitely be making these again.
