Lavender White Chocolate Chip Scones

by Lora Wiley-Lennartz

Raise your hand if you’re in the Northeast and are sick of winter and the endless snowstorms.  I got just the thing for you today.  These lovely sweet scones are perfect for the weekend and taste of spring.

Hope floats.

 

I found some dried lavender while rummaging through my cabinet this morning and finally after these long months felt the need to step away from warm caramel flavors and make something with flowers.

 

These are elegant, fragrant scones. Perfect for a spring or Easter brunch.

 

Yesterday I saw some pictures of a friend’s yard in Germany and everything is blooming. Come on Spring. You can do it.

Can you refrigerate or freeze this dough if you prep it ahead of time? If so, how long will it last?

I would not freeze it. You can leave it in the fridge up until 2 days ahead of time.
