I absolutely fell in love with the petite vanilla scones at starbucks and because I am a natural vanilla bean addict, I thought I must make my own version of the scones. I also love using culinary lavender, which just so happens to complement vanilla beans perfectly. So, bada-bing! The lavender vanilla bean scone was born. Oh, and they are gluten-free so celiacs can enjoy! —misschels

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • Lavender Vanilla Bean Scones
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  5. Chill dough briefly in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
  6. Pat the dough into a slab about an inch and a half onto a parchment lined counter top.
  7. Cut dough into desired shapes using a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife (I used a 3 1/16 in. biscuit cutter)
  8. Bake at 350 F on a parchment lined baking sheet for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Let scones cool and drizzle with the vanilla bean glaze.
  1. Vanilla Bean Glaze

Something is missing in this recipe (maybe flour) because there is no way that this makes 8 scones
