Lavender Lemon Scone Mix: Buttery Scones with a Zesty Twist
Save
Warm scones on a Saturday morning, with the house smelling like a bakery. Our Lavender Lemon Scone Mix bakes tender, buttery-tasting scones with a gentle floral lavender flavor and a bright, zesty lemon twist. It is the livelier sibling of our Classic scone mix.
Why lemon
Lemon and lavender are a classic pair: the citrus keeps the floral note fresh and bright, and the lavender gives lemon a softer finish. In a scone, the combination tastes like spring, even if there is still snow on the porch rail.
The cold-dough rule
- Chill your ingredients. Cold butter and liquid make taller, flakier scones.
- Mix briefly. Stop as soon as the dough holds together.
- Pat, do not roll. Shape the dough by hand into a round or rectangle.
- Cut straight down. Twisting a cutter seals the edges and keeps scones from rising.
- Chill before baking. Ten minutes in the fridge on the pan helps them hold their shape.

Storing
Keep the mix sealed in a cool, dry cupboard. Scones are best the day they are baked; store leftovers airtight and refresh them in a warm oven for a few minutes. Unbaked shaped scones can be frozen on a tray, then bagged and baked straight from frozen with a few extra minutes in the oven.
Gifting
A bag of Lemon scone mix is a charming gift for bakers, tea lovers and brunch hosts. Pair it with lavender tea or honey sticks in the Gift Box Builder.
Frequently asked questions
Lemon or Classic?
Classic is simple and lightly sweet with soft lavender. Lemon adds bright citrus that pairs beautifully with lavender.
Why did my scones spread flat?
The dough probably got warm or was overworked. Keep it cold and handle it lightly.
