Blackberry Lavender White Chocolate Scones

When you'll have an idea to cook anything truly delicious, sweet, berry-filled, oh so flaky, buttery scones, try these Blackberry Lavender White Chocolate Scones. These scones are extra special. Made simply with salted butter and cream, and layered with fresh summer blackberries and sweet white chocolate…beyond delicious. Bonus? These scones are super easy to make! Eat them warm, right out of the oven, drizzled generously with a sweet lavender glaze and a smear of salted butter…there’s not a better summer scone!

These scones are simple, and to be quite honestly, hard to mess up. So delicious! Flaky, buttery, sweet, with bursts of fresh, juicy blackberries and sweet white chocolate. And the glaze? Just warm some milk and steep it with fresh or dried lavender. I always try to keep this dried lavender on hand to bake with. Well, it seals the deal and creates that truly extra special scone that’s anything but boring. Enjoy this with your morning coffee, or as an afternoon snack, or split one in half and add a scoop of whipped cream for dessert. Can’t go wrong.
