Lavender And Honey Scone Recipe
Today I’m sharing my lavender and honey scone recipe, since I did promise to do so in my post last week. This morning I was up early to make a fresh batch, take photos, and yes the kitchen smells divine. So happy to get out and walk this morning too, before the storms went by.
For ideas on how to serve scones in berry baskets, see my post Garden Tablescape With Herbs.
Lavender And Honey Scone Recipe
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cubed
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- 2/3 cup milk
Lavender And Honey Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon dried lavender
- Pre-heat oven 425ºF.
- Optional step: infuse sugar with a stem of fresh lavender while organizing ingredients and preparing the sheet pan with parchment.
- Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Next add butter to the flour mixture. Blend with a pastry blender or a fork until the flour mixture looks crumbly. (A food processor or mixer with paddle attachment works great too.)
- Add sugar, lemon zest and then milk.
- Shape into a round disk and place on a parchment lined sheet pan. I like to spread about a teaspoon of powered sugar instead of flour on the parchment to prevent the dough from sticking while I cut and separate the sections before baking.
- Bake in a 425ºF oven for 12 to 14 minutes.
- Remove from oven. While scones cool for a few minutes make the lavender and honey glaze. If you want a thicker glaze use a little less lemon juice.
- Drizzle glaze over scones, then move to a cooling rack for glaze to harden.
Recipe Notes
Lemon zest is an optional ingredient, however I think the zest adds a welcome brightness to the overall flavor.
If you don’t want to add lavender in the glaze, just sprinkle it lightly on top of the scones after drizzling the glaze.
For a basic scone recipe omit the glaze and serve with marmalade or jam.

Hi Michelle. I love growing my own lavender, so this recipe is perfect for me (despite the fact it’s snowing and fragrant lavender outside seems worlds away). Found your post at TFT where I’m sharing small office ideas at #85. Thanks so much for the recipe! 🙂

Thanks for sharing! Does it keep long?
Thanks for stopping by Vanessa! I store in the fridge for three to five days. These scones also store very will in the freezer for up to a month.
I can’t wait to try these! I’m making them for a Bee Themed Brunch. Do you have any make ahead instructions? Like can I make them, freeze, reheat and add glaze?!?!?!?
Hi Cherie, I usually freeze leftovers with the glaze already on them, then reheat them with no problem. 😊 I hope you will enjoy the recipe, and your bee themed brunch is a huge success!
