Honey Lavender Scones

This isn’t the first recipe I’ve made with dry lavender buds.

You might remember these Lavender Cream Puffs that I made last spring. I topped these with a glaze infused with a hint of lavender.

I’m hooked on the mild flavor that is released when lavender buds are infused in liquid.

For this lavender scone recipe the lavender buds are folded into the scones instead of infusing the flavor!

What Type Of Lavender Should I Buy For Scones?

I purchased my lavender buds from World Market, which are English Lavender and the preferred bud for infusing flavor.

French lavender is often used for soaps and perfumes.

  1. Are these ok to be left out overnight and eaten later or should they be refrigerated? Are they just as good refrigerated and eaten later? I want to make some for a morning “drive-they” wedding shower (COVID-19!) so I have to make them the night before.

  2. Hi, maybe a silly question but is this recipe suppose to say 2 1/2 cups all purpose flower? Would love to make these!

  3. How adorable are these! I love that you’ve cut them into triangles too. I happen to have some dried lavender sitting around waiting to be made into something – you’ve inspired me!
