Step 1:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2:

• Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Stir in the dried lavender buds until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 3:

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4:

• Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
• Using a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges or rounds.
• Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
• Brush the tops of the scones with a little extra cream for a golden finish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top.
• Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
