Lavender Scones with Cream & Honey​

Picture

What you need:
3 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp dried culinary lavender
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup cold butter
1 cup buttermilk
2 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
Preheat oven to 425 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda, lavender, and salt. Cut butter into small pieces and add it to bowl. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work butter into flour mixture it resembles a coarse meal.
In a small bowl, whisk buttermilk, zest, and vanilla extract. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Blend until evenly wet. Do not over work.
Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead into ball using as little flour as possible. Do not over work. Pat into a 10x5" rectangle, then cut in half to make 2 squares. Cut each square crosswise into 4 squares. Then cut each square diagonally, creating two triangles.
Place on baking sheet, and brush with buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 13–15 minutes or until scones are just beginning to brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool.
Serve with clotted cream (whipped cream cheese also works) and orange or lavender honey.
