What You Need For Blackberry Lavender White Chocolate Scones

For the Scones:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon culinary lavender buds
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup (90g) white chocolate chips

For the Glaze (Optional):

  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Blackberry Lavender White Chocolate Scones

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and lavender buds.
  5. Form the Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the blackberries and white chocolate chips, being careful not to crush the berries.
  6. Shape the Scones: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick and cut it into 8 wedges.
  7. Bake: Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with a little heavy cream, and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Make the Glaze (Optional): In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled scones.
  9. Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Tips For Blackberry Lavender White Chocolate Scones

Make a Healthier Version
