OLD FASHIONED ENGLISH LAVENDER TEA SCONES
When I was back home in England recently, I visited a local lavender farm called Wold's Way Lavender in North Yorkshire; we had tea and these delicious lavender scones in their delightful little tea room; this is my attempt to recreate those scones - using some of my home-grown culinary lavender from the garden here in France! I have made them several times now and they have turned out just as I remembered them, especially good if split whilst still warm, buttered and spread with lavender honey or lavender-infused cream! Just a note of interest......lavender was often used during Tudor and Elizabethan times in the preparation of a wide variety of dishes and was a particular favourite of Queen Elizabeth I. The palace gardeners were required to have lavender flowers available at all times which were used to make Conserve of Lavender (a mixture of lavender flowers and sugar) and sweet lavender tisane, a drink made with lavender flowers, boiling water and honey.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 220C/450F, then lightly flour a baking tray.
- Sift the flour with the baking powder & salt. Rub the butter with the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar.
- Make a deep well in the flour, pour in the liquid and mix to a soft doughy texture with your hands. Sprinkle on the lavender flowers and knead into the dough very lightly until it is just smooth. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured board & cut out scone rounds.
- Brush the scones with the beaten egg, and sprinkle a few lavender flowers on top if you wish.
- Bake in oven for 7 - 10 minutes or until well risen and brown. Leave to cool. Serve with butter, lavender honey or lavender-infused cream.

SUNSHINE FARM LAVENDER TEA SCONES

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lavender in a large bowl.
- Add butter and beat with an electric mixer (or pastry blender) until well blended.
- Stir in zest.
- Pour in buttermilk and mix until blended.
- Gather dough into a ball and divide in half (I use a knife).
- On lightly floured surface, roll each half into a circle.
- Cut into wedges. (TIPS from Cameron: I make mine thick so that I get 6 scones (pie shaped wedges) out of each half. Use parchment paper to reduce the amount of flour needed. I also tend to hand shape, rather than roll the circle. Cut the wedges with a sharp knife. I gently tap the 3 sides of the scones on the parchment to make smooth edges.).
- Place scones on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 400° F oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden.
- Serve warm or cooled with butter, and choice of lavender syrup or jam, honey, lemon curd, or British clotted cream, and a nice cup of tea!

AWESOME ENGLISH TEA SCONES
I serve these wonderful tea scones with homemade strawberry jam and Devonshire clotted cream and they are the highlight of the afternoon tea I serve my guests. Incredibly easy to make and fast to disappear. I hope you'll try them and if you don't have clotted cream available, serve whipped heavy cream with jam of your choice. Enjoy!

- In a medium bowl, place the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter. Rub the mixture together with your fingers to break up the butter, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Add the milk slowly, mixing as you add, using enough of the milk to get your dough to come together with no lumps remaining. (Your dough should be quite sticky.)
- Spoon the dough out until a well-floured surface. Generously dust the top of the dough and knead the dough 2-3 times to coat it with flour and smooth the surface. Press the dough into a round that is roughly 1 inch thick.
