Sweet Lavender Scones
These sweet, fragrant scones are a great way to start your day or serve with tea when you need a relaxing break. Make sure you use 100% organic lavender (as you don’t want to ingest pesticides). If you don’t have lavender in your garden, purchase culinary lavender at supermarkets or natural food shops.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a food processor, or by hand, mix together all of the dry ingredients.
-
Add the cold butter and process or mix by hand until mixture resembles coarse meal.
-
Add the vanilla to the buttermilk.
-
In a large bowl, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until you have a “shaggy” dough.

-
Cut the rounds into 8 wedges each and place the wedges on a large cookie sheet.

Bake for 13 -15 minutes until golden brown.
