Lavender Scones

Lavender Scones

 

2 cups all purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

4 tablespoons butter or margarine

1/4 cup sugar

1-1/2 teaspoons dried lavender, coarsely chopped

2/3 cup milk, plus extra for glaze (soy milk works fine for both)

 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease & flour a large baking sheet. Mix flour and

baking powder together in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the butter until the

mixture looks like fine bread crumbs. Stir in the sugar and lavender (save a

small amount to sprinkle on top of scones before baking). Add enough milk to

make a soft, sticky dough. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface, pat it

down slightly. Cut dough into 1 inch thick rounds with a cookie cutter. Place

scones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of each scone with a dash of

milk and sprinkle with the reserved lavender and a little sugar, I like to

sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.

Serves 12.

 

Don't be angry with life.

There are so many things to be happy for.

Cold, fresh water,

green leaves

and the eyes of good people.
