Lavender White Chocolate Scones

---

Recipe Inspiration: This recipe came about from a tea that we designed, Lavender Vanilla White Tea.  The calming sense created from lavender and the creamy white chocolate meld together, creating a delicious and almost intoxicating aroma and taste that you can't help but close your eyes and relax while you enjoy.

Ingredients: 

2 1/2 Cups Self-Rising Flour

2 1/2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream

1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar

3/4 Cup White Chocolate Chip

2 TBSP Dried Lavender

1 tsp. vanilla extract

 Directions: 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
• Add flour and vanilla to bowl, mix well.
• Add sugar, white chocolate chips, and lavender to flour mixture. Mix well. 
• Add 2 cups of heavy whipping cream to mix, stir until mixed well. 
• Add up to an additional ¼ - ½ cup of heavy cream slowly until dough is mixed well (dough will be hard to stir, and appear thick and sticky). 
• Spray pan (we suggest a muffin or scone pan) with non-stick spray 
• Fill pan with dough.  Each section should be approximately 2/3 full of dough. 
• Place in center of oven and bake 18-20 minutes, until top is golden brown. 
• Remove scones from oven and let cool in pan for 5 minutes.  
• Remove from pan (using a butter knife or fork) and enjoy warm. 

*Optional – Vanilla Glaze Icing 

• Mix ½ cup confection sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1-2 tablespoons water in a small bowl.
• Mix well, removing all lumps. 
• Use a piping bag, pour glaze into bag, cut tip and drizzle over scone (if you don’t have a piping bag, dip fork in glaze and drizzle over scone.
