    Honey Lavender Scones Make a Lovely Tea Time Treat

    Honey Lavender Scones are a delightful tea time treat with hints of honey and lavender.

    I have a wonderfully easy homemade treat for you today: Honey Lavender Scones. Slightly sweet and flowery and oh so delicious.

    Scones are basically biscuits with more fat, usually from extra butter and cream. The result is a fluffy tender crumb.

    These Honey Lavender Scones are a bit heartier than what many people think of as scones thanks to the addition of oatmeal. They are just as fabulous, just a different texture.

    The recipe came from The Apple Orchard by Susan Wiggs. It is a modern romance with flashbacks to World War II Denmark and quite a few tasty recipes throughout. I love it when author's do that!

    Baking with Lavender Flowers

    I grow my own lavender so I know they are grown pesticide free and are safe to use in cooking. You can buy lavender flowers in some grocery stores with the other gourmet spices. Or head over to Amazon.

    If you don't have, or don't like lavender, omit it. My 9 year old taste tester assured me the plain Honey Scones were delicious.

    What does Lavender taste like?

    If you have ever smelled lavender, that's what it tastes like.

    Small and taste are closely related. What does food taste like when you have a cold? Nothing, right? Your brain processes the smell and taste together.

    Combine the lovely floral taste with honey and you have a delicious combination.
