Lavender Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest

Preparation

In a saucepan over medium heat, bring milk and lavender to a simmer. Transfer to a small bowl and let steep 15 minutes, then cover and chill for about 45 minutes. Strain milk and set aside; discard lavender.
Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F In a food processor, whirl flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add butter and lemon zest and pulse to form a coarse meal. Add lavender-infused milk and pulse to form a shaggy dough.
Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead 3 to 5 times.
Form dough into a 6-inch wide circle. Cut into 6 wedges. Arrange wedges 2 inches apart on a baking sheet and bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
