Lavender Vanilla Cream Scones

lavender vanilla cream scones


This was an experiment that yielded very happy results. I have been wanting to try baking something using culinary lavender for a long time so one afternoon last week when the girls and I felt like scones, I started looking up recipes. I found one scone recipe that called for lavender but it also required lemon zest and we were fresh out of citrus. So I just decided to modify my recipe for Cranberry Orange Scones and the results were delicious!

Lavender Vanilla Cream Biscuits
Preheat oven to 450 and line a sheet with parchment.
Stir together:
2 c. flour
2 T. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 healthy tsp. of culinary lavender buds
½ tsp. kosher salt.

Cut in ½ c. cold unsalted butter.
Add 1 tsp. vanilla and 1 c. heavy cream. Stir just until dough forms.
On floured surface, knead until uniform and pat out until 1 ½ inches thick. Cut with biscuit cutter and place upside down on sheet. Brush with cream.
Bake 12 to 14 minutes.

These are sweet and slightly floral tasting, and very rich because of the cream...try them and let me know what you think! We loved 'em. Definitely going in the recipe file.

You may have a holiday party or two to attend in the next couple of weeks...or maybe you already went and showed up empty-handed. Here are some handpicked hostess gifts that go beyond the ubiquitous bottle of wine. Show up with one of these, or send one along post-party with a thank you note, and you're sure to be invited next year! Keep in mind that many of these shops have "Gifts Under $25" collections, so if you don't find what you want here, browse a bit more. And finally, do yourself a favor and stock up! I made sure to include really reasonably-priced things so you can buy in multiples and not break the bank. Haitian Spirit Recycled Steel Ornaments --The Hunger Site Store (every purchase from this site helps fight hunger) Sassari Napkin Rings --Crate and Barrel Wine Cork Candles --Vat 19 (I know I've handpicked these before...I think they're that cool.) Owl Salt and Pepper Shakers --Pier 1 (they have lots of other cute sets, too) Set of Kitchen Towel

Peaches and Cream Scones

Good morning, sunshines! Sadly, peach season is coming to a rapid close, but before it's gone for another year, you've gotta try these scones! They taste like peach cobbler that you can hold in your hand! If you recall, I rounded up some great peach recipes for you a few weeks back, and this was one I just had to try myself. The recipe comes from A Latte Food . The only thing I changed was the amount of vanilla that went in the glaze. I decreased it from 1 T. to 1 tsp. Hop on over to A Latte Food for the full recipe, then swipe up the last of summer's peaches before they're gone!

Blue and Red Valentine Decorations

Hey there! Happy Monday! Have you undecorated for Christmas yet? I have to do a decoration detox for a bit after the holidays. I keep the decor to a minimum, but around now, I start to think about Valentine's Day decorations. I think it's hard to work with red and pink since our house is mostly blue, gray and green. But these blue and red Valentine craft ideas would look great in our house, and maybe yours, too! via via via via via via via via via You May Also Like: Key to Our Hearts Valentine Art DIY Heart Crayons Grilled Chocolate Marshmallow Sandwiches Vintage Valentine Crafts
