Need an idea for Mother’s Day? How about throwing her a soothing tea party, with a tea of her choice and lavender scones.

Lavender Scones

– preheat oven to 425° F

2 cups flour
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder

– combine in a large mixing bowl

6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut up

1 tsp. lavender tea, processed in spice grinder

– add to flour blend beat with mixer until crumbly

1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk

– add into measuring cup, whisk together, then add to flour mixture and beat on high until dough comes together
Turn dough out onto floured cutting board, roll out to 1 inch thickness, use knife to cut into triangles. Place scones onto parchment lined cookie sheet, sprinkle with granulated sugar and bake until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.

*Try this recipe with a different tea, such as Lapsang Souchong for a more savory scone to be paired with soups and salads, or a Caramel tea for a dessert scone!
