  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

  • 2/3 cup 1% low-fat milk
  • WASH
  • 1 egg white

Directions

  1. 1
    First things first, make sure you are using matured lavender sugar if using homemade!

    Sift the flour, baking powder,salt, and lavender sugar together in a mixing bowl.
  3. 3
    Add the butter and lemon curd, mix until crumbly.
  4. 4
    With an electric beater on low, blend the milk into the mixture. It should be a pretty thick dough.
  5. 5
    Put some flour on your hands and knead the dough.
  6. 6
    Preheat the oven to 450F, and grease a cookie sheet. Lightly dust it with flour.
  7. 7
    Break off hunks of dough about the size of your palm (or maybe a little smaller), and flatten them a little, spacing them out on the baking sheet at least 2-3 inches apart.
  8. 8
    You can also roll the dough out if you like to use specialty biscuit/cookie cutters.
  9. 9
    Make a wash out of an egg white, and brush some on to the scone tops and sprinkle with some coarse sugar (namely more lavender sugar.).
  10. 10
    Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown on top. Let cool and serve with a nice honey-butter or other flavored butter, jam, or lavender cream.
