Lavender scones with cheese

My tutorial on How to make English scones takes you through exactly how to make them.

These scones have a touch of this fragrant, floral herb blended into the flour and a little more sprinkled on top.

Flavoured with a delicate touch of lavender – a herb grown extensively in the region – it was the perfect match for these tender little cakes. A smear of butter added the requisite moisture and richness.

For me, scones are generally about wanton abandon, but this pairing is restrained, subtle and lovely…
