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.

Could half and half be substituted for heavy cream?
Sandra Shaffer
Yes. You should get the same results. Hope you love these scones!

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.
Detra Newhouse
That should have been “drive-thru” shower.
Sandra Shaffer
They can be left overnight and eaten later. If you can add the glaze the day of enjoying I believe you will get the best results. What a wonderful way to celebrate!
Sarah Tollemache
I found them just as good the day after – a couple of days, even!
Sandra Shaffer
Good to hear this, Sarah! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Erica
Hi, maybe a silly question but is this recipe suppose to say 2 1/2 cups all purpose flower? Would love to make these!
Sandra Shaffer
Whoops! Yes, 2 1/2 cups of flour is the correct amount.
Mollie
How long is the cream and lavender mix supposed to cool for?
Sandra Shaffer
Hi Mollie! To get at room temperature it will take about 30 minutes.
Sarah
That honey drizzled over the scones is so pretty! What a great recipe Sandra!

I absolutely love the essence of lavender. So aromatic and delicious! This recipe looks like my favorite breakfast!

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!
Kim
These look amazing! Where can you buy dried lavender buds?
Sandra Shaffer
Thanks 🙂 I bought mine at World Market. It comes in a small plastic container labeled with World Market’s brand near the spices!
