Ensure your dried lavender is culinary grade to safely enjoy its flavor in the scones.
Tip 3: Storage
Store leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Tip 4: Serving Suggestions
These scones pair well with tea or coffee and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
Tip 5: Glaze Variations
