Sunshine Farm Lavender Tea Scones

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400u00b0F.

2. 2

   Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lavender in a large bowl.

3. 3

   Add butter and beat with an electric mixer (or pastry blender) until well blended.

4. 4

   Stir in zest.

5. 5

   Pour in buttermilk and mix until blended.

6. 6

   Gather dough into a ball and divide in half (I use a knife).

7. 7

   On lightly floured surface, roll each half into a circle.

8. 8

   Cut into wedges. (TIPS from Cameron: I make mine thick so that I get 6 scones (pie shaped wedges) out of each half. Use parchment paper to reduce the amount of flour needed. I also tend to hand shape, rather than roll the circle. Cut the wedges with a sharp knife. I gently tap the 3 sides of the scones on the parchment to make smooth edges.).

9. 9

   Place scones on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 400u00b0 F oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden.

10. 10

    Serve warm or cooled with butter, and choice of lavender syrup or jam, honey, lemon curd, or British clotted cream, and a nice cup of tea!
