Method
- In a bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Add in cold butter and cut into the pastry until it has a crumble texture.
- Once combined, form a well in the middle before adding in milk, lemon juice and QL Omega Egg. Mix well until a dough is formed.
- Then, add in lemon zest and lavender. Mix it gently by hand or mixer.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough into a circle of 2 cm thickness and divide it into 8 wedges.
- Line the wedges on a parchment tray and glaze it with butter.
- Sprinkle some lavender on top before baking it in a preheated oven at 180˚C for 20 minutes until golden brown.
- To make the glaze, combine icing sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix well and put the mixture into a piping bag.
- Once the scones are cooled down slight, glaze the scones evenly.
- Leave it to set for 10 minutes before serving.
QL Chef Tip:
- If the lemon glazing is too thick, add a bit more lemon juice and if it is too thin, add extra icing sugar.
- The scone prior to glazing can be kept frozen and warmed up in the oven when needed.
