What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Splurge-Worthy Goodness: White Chocolate Lavender Berry Scones! Butter and Buttermilk, two main ingredients that lasso the moon. This is not your ordinary pastry. It’s not a doughnut. It’s not a muffin. It is a flavorful raised vessel for smearing on more butter. Granted, the American version may be filled with fresh fruit and chocolate chips, but hey, it’s all good. And since I was doing it my way, I went one step further and added a lavender glaze on top. There’s no way I’m going to be accused of making a dry-as-dust scone. I’m living with a man who conjures up that image whenever he hears the word “scone”. I believe for now, I’m okay with him thinking that way. More for me!
WHITE CHOCOLATE LAVENDER BERRY SCONES
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
4 tablespoons cold butter, grated
1 egg, room temperature
3 ounces buttermilk, plus more for brushing
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup fresh blackberries
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Ingredients for Lavender Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried lavender buds
Fresh mint, for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and sea salt. Add the grated butter; toss with flour mixture. Add the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Stir just until combined. Do not over mix. Fold in blackberries and white chocolate chips. Turn the dough onto a floured surface; then pat into squares. Cut into equal triangles. Place formed dough 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Brush tops with buttermilk. Bake until golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Rotate baking sheets halfway through. Allow the scones to cool slightly. To make the glaze, combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon dried lavender. Stir until smooth. Drizzle scones with lavender glaze. Garnish with remaining lavender buds and fresh mint leaves. Serve warm with butter.
Lovely recipe. I’m overdue to make scones.

These are beautiful! Love lavender, especially if there is lemon any where to be found in the dessert. What time is tea?
