Lavender Scones

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oat
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1 1/2 tablespoons lavender flowers, fresh
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add walnuts and lavender, mixing until combined.

2. 2

   Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the egg, honey, buttermilk and vanilla. Stir to combine, mixing to form a soft dough. With floured hands, pat the dough into a round about 1 inch thick and cut into smaller rounds using a large cookie cutter.

3. 3

   Place scones on a non-stick cookie sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from heat and serve warm or let cool before serving.
