How to make Lavender Honey Scones

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of culinary dried lavender until well combined.
3. Add 6 tablespoons of very cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of very cold heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of honey until combined.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a fork or spatula to mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix; the dough will be shaggy.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it 3-4 times, just enough to bring it together into a cohesive ball. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
7. Using a 2.5 to 3-inch round cutter (or a knife to cut into wedges), cut out 8 scones. Reroll scraps gently once if needed to get all 8 scones. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
8. Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg wash, which helps them achieve a golden-brown crust.
9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. While the scones cool slightly, prepare the honey glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if a thinner consistency is desired.
11. Let the scones cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before drizzling generously with the prepared honey glaze. Serve warm or at room temperature.
