Make This Recipe
Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons culinary lavender
2 large lemons, juiced and zested (5 tablespoons juice)
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 Eggland’s Best Large Eggs, at room temperature
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes and frozen
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
lemon zest for garnish, optional
Preparation
- Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the flour, 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, lavender and lemon zest in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine.
- In a small bowl whisk 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice, the heavy cream and 2 of the eggs. Set aside.
- Add the butter to the processor and pulse just till the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the cream mixture and pulse just till the dough gathers in a ball on the side of the bowl.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 6-inch square. Cut into 16 pieces and transfer to your prepared baking sheet. Beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the tops of the scones. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and bake till golden brown, 10 – 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Place the cooled scones, still on the wire rack, on a piece of wax or parchment paper. Whisk the confectioner’s sugar with the remaining 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and drizzle over the cooled scones. Garnish with lemon zest if desired and let set before serving.
