- ½ teaspoon (2.5 grams) kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon (2 grams) dried culinary lavender
- ½ cup (85 grams) white chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup (113 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream or buttermilk, cold
- 1 large egg, beaten
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Fruit Ingredient:

Instructions
- Craft a parchment-lined baking sheet and heat the oven to a crisp 375F, preparing for delectable pastry creation.
- Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a spacious mixing bowl, creating a pristine dry foundation.
- Introduce chilled butter cubes into the flour mixture, methodically breaking them down using a pastry cutter until the texture mimics coarse, sandy crumbs.
- Gently whisk cold cream with egg, then delicately incorporate into the flour blend, stirring minimally to maintain a tender consistency.
- Tenderly fold vibrant blackberries, creamy white chocolate chips, and aromatic lavender into the delicate dough, distributing ingredients with care.
- Transfer the soft dough onto a flour-dusted surface, gently shaping into a uniform 1-inch thick square, then slice into elegant triangles or squares.
- Lovingly brush scone surfaces with additional cream, ensuring a golden, glossy finish before sliding into the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, watching for a rich, amber-brown coloration that signals perfect doneness.
- Craft a luxurious glaze by warming milk and butter, infusing with lavender essence for 5 minutes, then straining to extract maximum flavor.
- Whisk vanilla and powdered sugar into the lavender-kissed liquid, creating a silky, smooth glazing mixture.
- While scones are still warm, generously drizzle the fragrant glaze, allowing it to cascade artfully across the pastry surface.
Notes
- Manage moisture by freezing fresh blackberries before adding to prevent color bleeding and maintain scone structure.
- Handle berries gently to avoid crushing and creating soggy dough, which can impact texture and baking performance.
- Substitute dried lavender with extra vanilla extract for milder flavor if fresh lavender feels overwhelming.
- Select high-quality white chocolate chips with minimal additives for better melting and more authentic taste profile.
