Lemon Lavender Scones
- DOUGH
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, well-sifted
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lavender sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons lemon curd
- 2/3 cup 1% low-fat milk
- WASH
- 1 egg white
- TOPPING
- coarse lavender sugar, for sprinkling
- 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.
