My favorite time of day is tea-time and especially if these Blackberry and Lemon Scones are on the menu. These are so easy to make, with fresh blackberries and lemon zest added to the soft and buttery scone dough then brushed with a buttermilk and raw sugar egg wash and finally glazed with a very special lavender glaze made from milk, butter, powdered sugar and dried lavenders that give this sweet treat a really enhanced finishing touch!
To make Blackberry and Lemon Scones, you will need the following ingredients:
Prepare a large baking sheet by lining with baking parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse 2½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ⅓ cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of lemon zest until combined.
Roughly cut 1 stick butter into the dry mix and pulse about 18-20 times until the mixture becomes a coarse crumble.
In a small bowl, whisk 1 large beaten egg with ½ cup of whole milk and ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the food processor and pulse a few times until a loose batter forms. Do not over mix.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently fold in 1 cup of blackberries until evenly spread around.
Shape into an 8-inch circle then cut into 8 wedges and transfer to the lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer for about 20 minutes until firm.
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg with 1 teaspoon of buttermilk and then brush over the scones. Top with sprinkles from 2 tablespoons of raw sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine ⅓ cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook until just steaming but do not boil. Once the milk is steaming, remove from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of dried lavender leaves. Cover with a lid and set aside for 5 minutes, to steep.
Strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve and discard the lavender bits.
Stir in 1 cup of powdered sugar and add more milk, as needed, to form a pourable glaze.
Drizzle the prepared lavender glaze over each cooled scone and garnish with extra lavender.
