Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Dried Culinary Lavender

Instructions
 

  • Preheat and Prep
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups All-Purpose Flour, 1 tbsp Baking Powder, 1/4 tsp Baking Soda, 1/2 tsp Sea Salt, 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar, and 1 tsp Dried Culinary Lavender.
  • Add Lemon Zest and Butter
    Add lemon zest from 1 Large Lemon and 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter. Butter should be cold and cubed. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

    While the scones cool slightly, whisk 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar and 1 tbsp Lemon Juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Drizzle, Garnish, and Enjoy
    Drizzle the glaze over warm (not hot) scones and garnish with extra lavender or lemon zest if desired. Enjoy with a hot cup of tea.

Notes

CBD Tincture Tips — Choose a high-quality broad-spectrum or isolate CBD tincture (no THC) that’s unflavored and your desired dose. Adjust to your needs.
Lavender Matters — Use culinary-grade dried lavender only. It’s more delicate and designed for flavor, not fragrance — too much can be overpowering.
Do Not Overmix — Handle the dough gently to keep the scones soft and tender.
Make-Ahead Tip — Store baked scones in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days or freeze for up to a month. Reheat gently at 300°F for 5–7 minutes.
These are not just scones—they’re a slow, fragrant exhale in baked form. Lightly sweet, beautifully balanced, and kissed with calming CBD, they’re the perfect excuse to linger a little longer at the table.
