Servings: 8
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground lavender.
-
Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, heavy cream, egg and vanilla until smooth.
-
Pour the liquid mixture over the flour mixture and stir gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix! The dough should be slightly crumbly but hold together.
-
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 3 or 4 times to bring it together. Pat into a disk about 1-inch thick, then cut it into 8 wedges.
-
Place wedges 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little extra heavy cream.
-
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown around the edges. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
-
While the scones cool, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl whisk together the powdered sugar, honey, heavy cream, lavender and lemon juice. Adjust consistency with additional lemon juice if necessary.
-
Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled scones. Allow the glaze to set for 10 minutes before serving.
