Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   First things first, make sure you are using matured lavender sugar if using homemade!

2. 2

   Sift the flour, baking powder,salt, and lavender sugar together in a mixing bowl.

3. 3

   Add the butter and lemon curd, mix until crumbly.

4. 4

   With an electric beater on low, blend the milk into the mixture. It should be a pretty thick dough.

5. 5

   Put some flour on your hands and knead the dough.

6. 6

   Preheat the oven to 450F, and grease a cookie sheet. Lightly dust it with flour.

7. 7

   Break off hunks of dough about the size of your palm (or maybe a little smaller), and flatten them a little, spacing them out on the baking sheet at least 2-3 inches apart.

8. 8

   You can also roll the dough out if you like to use specialty biscuit/cookie cutters.

9. 9

   Make a wash out of an egg white, and brush some on to the scone tops and sprinkle with some coarse sugar (namely more lavender sugar.).

10. 10

    Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown on top. Let cool and serve with a nice honey-butter or other flavored butter, jam, or lavender cream.
