LEMON AND LAVENDER SCONES
These lovely old-fashioned scones are very light; they will literally melt in your mouth! The recipe is very versatile. Substitute your favorite flavor of yogurt and add a tablespoon or two of a chopped complementary fruit, raisins, or currants instead of the lavender. Serve with honey, fruit preserves, or if you're lucky enough to be able to get it, clotted cream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Stir baking soda and yogurt together in a bowl.
- Sift flour, 1/3 cup sugar, and baking powder together in a bowl. Cut cold butter into flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture is crumbly.
- Mix yogurt mixture, 2 tablespoons melted butter, egg, lavender, and lemon zest in a separate bowl. Stir yogurt-lavender mixture into flour mixture until just moistened.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 8 to 10 times, adding more flour if dough is too sticky.
- Divide dough into 2 pieces and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Pat and shape each piece into a 6-inch circle. Score each circle into 6 wedges using a sharp floured knife. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon melted butter; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon white sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until scones are just golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven, break into wedges, and cool on a wire rack.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cover currants with warm water in a bowl and set aside to moisten.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment at low speed, mix white sugar and salt into the flour mixture. Add all the unsalted butter to the mixer bowl and mix on low speed until butter cubes reduce to the size of small peas, about 30 seconds.
- Drain currants and discard soaking water; mix currants, buttermilk, and lemon zest into the flour mixture on low speed just until the dough starts to hold together.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently shape into a rectangle 18 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 1 1/2 inches thick. Brush dough with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar crystals.
- Cut the dough in half crosswise with a sharp knife; cut each half into thirds, and cut each third diagonally to make 12 triangular-shaped scones. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until scones are lightly golden brown, about 18 minutes. Eat warm.

Steps:
- Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder & salt together into a large mixing bowl.
- Use a pastry blender and cut in the cold butter until the consistency is coarse and crumbly.
- Add *1 cup* heavy cream, stirring just until moistened. Add more heavy cream (about 1 tablespoon at a time) if the mixture is too dry.
- Now stir in the currants, lavender, and orange zest.
- Turn out on lightly floured surface, and knead 4 or 5 times (don't overwork your dough). Chill dough for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Option #1: Roll out the dough 3/4 inch thick on a floured surface then cut with round biscuit cutter. Place each scone about 2 inches apart on a nonstick baking sheet that has been covered with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops of the scones with the remaining 2 tablespoons of whipping cream. Sprinkle with raw sugar and few lavender flowers.
- Bake at 375 for 15 minute or until golden brown.
- Option #2: Roll out dough into a 1/2" thick round. Place the round in a preheated cast iron skillet, follow Step #8 above and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
- Set aside for 5 minutes after removing from oven then slice into 12 wedges. Note: I cut the recipe in half and used an 8-inch cast iron skillet. The scones were sliced into 8 wedges. We enjoyed our scones with a pot of peppermint tea, my scone with rose petal jam and Tasty Dish enjoyed hers with butter and local clover honey.

ORANGE-CURRANT SCONES
The orange zest and currants in these tender scones are an homage to the chef Judy Rodgers of the Zuni Cafe in San Francisco, who made her storied scones until 1997. The dough and method here, though, are adapted from Heather Bertinetti, the pastry chef at the Four Seasons restaurant in New York. The genius of this particular scone recipe is in the geometry. Slicing a rolled-out slab of dough into squares or rectangles is infinitely simpler than cutting out rounds - and there's less chance of toughening the dough by re-rolling it and adding more flour. You can use any kind of chopped dried fruit in place of the currants.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or baking mat, or use a nonstick pan.
- Toss dry ingredients and zest together in a large bowl. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub butter and flour mixture together just until butter pieces are the size of peas and covered with flour. Make a well in the center of the bowl and pour in egg and cream. Mix ingredients together by hand until a shaggy dough is formed.
- Turn out onto a floured surface and gently mix in currants, kneading dough and currants together just until incorporated.
- Pat dough into a 3/4- to 1-inch-thick rectangle. Cut rectangle in half lengthwise, then cut across into 8 or 12 smaller rectangles. Place them on the baking sheet, spaced out.
- Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with brown sugar (if using). Bake until light golden brown, about 22 minutes; rotate the pan front to back halfway through. Let scones cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm or at room temperature. Eat within 24 hours.
BRITISH CURRANT SCONES, ATK
I like these scones plain, because of the delicious flavor, but you may serve with butter, clotted cream, and jam. And hot tea, of course! If you have any left the next day, they can be split and toasted.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside.
- Place dry ingredients in bowl of food processor fitted with a metal blade; pulse until well combined.
- Add butter cubes. They should be firm but not hard, and pliable if you squeeze one between your fingers. Pulse until butter is fully combined with flour mixture. No chunks of butter should remain.
- Transfer flour & butter mixture to large mixing bowl. Add ¾ cup currants, stir into flour mix. Use your fingers, and separate any currants that are stuck together in clumps.
- In a small bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Reserve 2 TB of mixture to brush on tops of scones before baking. Add remaining eggs and milk to bowl with flour and currants. Stir together gently with a rubber spatula until all dry ingredients are moistened. Dough will be somewhat sticky.
- Turn onto generously floured counter, knead 15 to 20 turns with floured hands. Use a bench scraper if needed to get dough off of counter.
- Roll out 3/4 to 1" thick on floured board. Cut into 2 1/4 inch rounds, dipping cutter into flour between cuts, and do not twist the cutter- cut straight down. This should make about 18 scones, or more if using smaller cutter. Place onto baking tray lined with parchment. Knead scraps together once or twice and cut remaining rounds until all dough is used. Brush scones on tops only with reserved egg mixture.
- Put scones into preheated 500 degree oven, turn heat down to 425 degrees F, and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown on top and bottom. Reverse pans halfway through baking time.
- Cool on rack a few minutes before serving.

Steps:
- In a bowl whisk together 1/2 cup of the cream, the egg, the vanilla, and 3 tablespoons of the sugar until the mixture is combined well. In another bowl stir together the flour, the salt, the baking powder, and the baking soda and blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the currants and the cream mixture with a fork until the mixture just forms a sticky but manageable dough. Knead the dough gently on a lightly floured surface for 30 seconds, pat it into a 1/2-inch-thick round, and with a 1 1/2-inch fluted cutter cut it into rounds. Gather the scraps, repat the dough, and cut out more rounds. On an ungreased baking sheet brush the scones with the additional cream and sprinkle them with the additional sugar. Bake the scones in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 425°.
- Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk the milk and 2 eggs together in a small bowl; set aside.
- Sift the dry ingredients together in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Add the butter; attach the bowl to the mixer and fit with paddle attachment.
- Mix on med-low speed until the mixture looks mealy with some pea-size bits of butter.
- Mix in the currants.
- Decrease mixer speed to low; add the milk mixture, mixing just until the dough barely comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface and sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons flour on top.
- Knead the dough a few times, just until it doesn't stick to the work surface.
- Do not overwork the dough; the surface will be floured, but the inside of the dough should remain on the wet side.
- Gently roll out the dough into a 3/4-inch thick round.
- Using a 2 1/2 inch fluted biscuit cutter, dipping it into flour between cuts, cut out the scones (cut straight down and do not twist the cutter) and place 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared half-sheet pan.
- To get the most scones out of the dough, cut out the scones close together in concentric circles.
- Gather up the dough scraps, knead very lightly, and repeat to cut out more scones.
- Brush the tops of the scones lightly with the beaten egg, being sure not to let the egg drip down the sides (which would inhibit a good rise).
- Place the scones in the oven and immediately decrease heat to 400°.
- Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Cool on the pan for a few minutes, then serve warm or cool completely.
- Serve with jam.

- In a big bowl mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Just whisk them roughly so as to combine all the ingredients.
- Cut the butter in small pieces, it should be cold, and add it to the flour bowl. Using a pastry blender or a couple forks cut into the butter and continue until the mixture resembles small peas.
- Pour two cups of the heavy cream over the flour mixture and using a spatula mix everything well together. If the mixture is too dry, add more heavy cream a tablespoon at a time. Turn the dough over onto a well floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle that's about 11"x7". Do not be tempted to knead the dough, you'll crush the currants. The rectangle should be about an inch in thickness.

- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, lavender, lemon zest, and salt together in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter using a box grater. Add it to the flour mixture and combine with a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers until the mixture comes together in pea-sized crumbs. See video and photo above for a closer look at the texture. Place in the refrigerator or freezer as you mix the wet ingredients together.
- Whisk 1/2 cup buttermilk, the egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the flour mixture, then mix together until everything appears moistened.
- Pour onto the counter and, with floured hands, work dough into a ball as best you can. Dough will be sticky. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour. If it seems too dry, add 1 more Tablespoon buttermilk. Press into an 8-inch disc and, with a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut into 8 wedges. For smaller scones, press dough into two 5-inch discs and cut each into 8 wedges. To make 10-12 drop scones: Keep mixing dough in the bowl until it comes together. Drop scones, about 1/4 cup of dough each, 3 inches apart on a lined baking sheet.
- Brush scones with remaining buttermilk and for extra crunch, sprinkle with coarse sugar. (You can do this before or after refrigerating in the next step.)
