Lavender Cream Scones
2 c Pastry Flour
1 Tbsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
4 Tbsp Lavender Sugar
6 Tbsp Butter
1/3 c Cream or Milk
1 Tbsp Lavender Buds
2 Eggs, beaten
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and Lavender Sugar(see recipe garnish above). With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Meanwhile, bring the cream and Culinary Lavender just to a boil. Remove from heat and allow Lavender flavor to infuse for 20 minutes. Then strain out lavender flowers and discard them.
Now in a separate bowl, combine eggs and Lavender cream until well blended. Stir cream mixture into dry ingredients until they are moistened. Divide the dough into two 8-inch rounds on a greased baking sheet. Cut the dough with a sharp knife into 8 wedges. Brush the top with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400°F for 10 to 15 minutes or until the scones are a golden brown. Over baking will result in dry scones. Oven temperatures DO vary so remember to check your scones at least five minutes before your baking time is up. |
