Eating My Way Through the Holidays. Festive Food Gifts: 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.
Delicious 😋😋😋 I’m over the moon too! 🌹🤗🙋♂️
