Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon tea, these scones feature a tender crumb with a bright lemon glaze that adds a refreshing zest to every bite.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 scones

Ingredients

Scones

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ tablespoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ tablespoon culinary lavender
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup cold, unsalted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blackberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature while you prepare the dough.
  2. Mix dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and culinary lavender to evenly distribute the flavors.
  3. Incorporate butter. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg and mix it with the heavy cream and lemon zest. Pour this liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in blackberries. Gently fold the fresh blackberries into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them apart.
  6. Shape the dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a round disk about 1 inch thick. Cut the disk into 8 equal wedges.
  7. Bake the scones. Place the wedges onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes until the scones are golden and baked through.
  8. Prepare the lemon glaze. While the scones bake, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
  9. Glaze the scones. Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the warm scones before serving.

Notes

  • Be sure to keep the butter cold for flaky scones.
  • Handle the blackberries gently to prevent them from bleeding into the dough too much.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with buttermilk for a slightly tangier flavor.
  • For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based butter and milk alternative.
  • Store scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
