Mom says...This recipe makes 8 scones.
Infuse the cream with the most fragrant petals. The most fragrant are usually paler in color. Red petals fold into the scone dough makes the most visually pleasing finished scone. * Lavender sugar is preferred and can easily be made my placing fresh or dried chopped lavender in to a cup of sugar for a week or more in advance of making the scones. Make sure the flowers you use are free of pesticides and approved for culinary purposes. |
