Belle Epicurean Lavender Artisan Scone Mix, 13 oz
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
- 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to Make Blackberry Lavender Scones
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently fold in the blackberries and dried lavender.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Cut into wedges or use a cookie cutter for desired shapes, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
How to Serve Blackberry Lavender Scones
Blackberry lavender scones are delightful when served for breakfast or as an afternoon tea treat. They pair beautifully with fresh clotted cream or a light drizzle of honey, and a cup of herbal tea or coffee complements them perfectly. These scones can be enjoyed as part of a brunch spread alongside fresh fruit, yogurt, or a light salad, making them a versatile option for various meals.
