Foodie Friday is presented by Gollum at

fabulous recipes:)

Put flour, baking powder and salt into large bowl. Stir to mix well.

Add butter and cut in with pastry blender or fingers until the mixture looks like fine granules.

Add sugar, toss to mix. Add milk and stir with fork until soft dough forms.

Add Lavender.

Form dough into a ball.

Put onto lightly floured surface and give 10-12 kneads.

To make round scones,

roll out dough and

cut with 2: round cutter. Sprinkle with white sparkling sugar.

Bake 12 minutes or until medium brown on top. Put on wire rack, cover with cloth, cool completely.

I wrapped them individually.

Put them into a cloth lined basket.

Then added napkins, Lemon Curd (butter knife), Raspberry tea and tea pots.

Placed all into a larger basket and I headed off to work for an

8:00 am breakfast meeting. My co-workers loved it.

Here is the recipe:

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

8 tablespoons or stick cold unsalted butter

1/4 cups sugar

2/3 cup milk

2 tablespoons McCormick's Lavender

Sprinkle with Wilton White Sparkling Sugar

Heat oven to 425 degrees.

You would not believe the wonderful taste the Lavender gives these scones. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
