Blackberry Lavender White Chocolate Scones.
When in need of 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!
Over the weekend, when I was asked which I prefer more, cooking and or baking? My answer was, it depends on my mood, and what season it is! Currently, I’m loving baking with all the summer produce. The colors inspire me and make me excited to not only create a new recipe, but also to photograph it. Summer is probably my favorite season when it comes to photographing food. It’s definitely the most colorful and I love being able to so easily incorporate herbs and edible flowers into my recipes.
It’s fun and keeps things exciting…plus delicious! Of course.
To be very honest, I wasn’t really expecting to love these scones as much as I do. Typically, when it comes to sweet recipes, I prefer something chocolate or something berry-filled. With lots of runny juices or cream (like my blackberry lavender cake or strawberry bourbon cobbler, or maybe my blueberry galette – yum). But these scones…there’s something extra special about them. I think it’s the combination of salted butter, juicy-berries, sweet white chocolate, and that subtle lavender flavor in the background.
The lavender almost makes them feel “dainty”.
The Inspiration.
Like a lot of my summer recipes, this one came to be thanks to an overflowing amount of blackberries and fresh lavender growing in the herb garden.
When I saw two pints of blackberries in the fridge, and an abundance of lavender, scones just came to mind. And I went with, no second-guessing, no rethinking. I simply got right to making these and they turned out perfect, first try – such a rarity.
Love so much when that happens.
The (very simple) details.
These scones are simple, and to be quite honestly, hard to mess up.
Here is the quick, “how-to”…
I recommend starting with the butter. Make sure it is cold, then shred it on a box grater, just as you would cheese. I’ve been using this little trick for years and it never fails. Once the cheese is shredded, stash it in the freezer while you prepare the remainder of the recipe.
Mix the flour, baking powder, and sugar. Add the shredded butter, toss, toss, toss. Now Mix in the cream and the egg until you have a nice shaggy dough. Fold in those berries and white chocolate chips.
Scone dough is made.
Now, turn the dough out and simply pat it into a square. If the berries are popping out, gently push them right back into the dough. It’s OK if the berries burst and end up turning your scones a bit purple. I find this “look” to be especially pretty, so just embrace the mess.
Cut the scones into either nine larger biscuits or twelve smaller. I cut mine into nine larger biscuits.
Brush the top with cream, then BAKE. Yes, simple, simple.
As the scones bake, the kitchen will fill with the sweet smells of summer…buttery berries baking. It’s truly delightful (really embracing the “daintiness” in me today).
While the scones bake, make 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. It pairs so nicely with summer desserts.
Once the milk has steeped, strain out the lavender and stir in powdered sugar plus vanilla.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits and serve with a little butter smeared inside each scone.
SO delicious! Flaky, buttery, sweet, with bursts of fresh, juicy blackberries and sweet white chocolate. And the glaze? 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.

Blackberry Lavender White Chocolate Scones
When in need of truly delicious, sweet, berry-filled, oh so flaky, buttery scones, try these scones...smiles will flourish!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 tablespoons cold salted butter, shredded (just like cheese)
- 3/4 cup cold cream or buttermilk, plus more for brushing
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries (no need to thaw, if frozen)
- 1/2-1 cup white chocolate chips
Lavender Glaze
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender (use 2 teaspoons for a less intense flavor)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 cups powdered sugar to your taste
Instructions
-
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the butter and toss with the flour. Add the buttermilk and egg. Mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix. Fold in the blackberries and white chocolate chips. It's OK if some of the berries burst.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch thick square. Now cut the dough into 9 large squares or 12 smaller squares. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the scones with cream. Transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, 20-22 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, make the lavender glaze. Warm the milk and butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat until steaming, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lavender. Cover and steep 5 minutes. Strain the milk through a fine-mesh strainer and discard the lavender. Stir in the vanilla and powdered sugar, adding more to your taste.
5. Serve the scones warm, drizzle with the glaze and smeared with butter. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
To Shred the Butter: freeze the butter for 10-15 minutes, then shred on a box grater, just as you would cheese. Lightly separate, keep the butter COLD.
To make Homemade Buttermilk: Combine 1 scant cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of either lemon juice or vinegar. Let the mix sit 5 to 10 minutes until slightly thickened and you see small curdled bits. Use as directed above

Wow blackberry and lavender sounds like such an interesting combination!
Thanks Rhian! Hope you like it!
What a coincidence! I have scones on my blog today as well, but they’re savoury instead of sweet. I do love scones, yumm, and these are going right onto my try it soon list!!
https://bloglairdutemps.blogspot.pt
How funny!! They are the best!! Hope you love these ones Miranda! (:
Yes to that blend of blackberries and lavender! Need these this morning!
Ah, I hope you got to try them!! ?
Believe me, I’ve had many of your Sundays. Right now I’m involved in three different on-line classes and I have so much I’ve put off doing. But for this recipe? I would stop and make them. Like you, I’ve never made scones since they seemed a little bland and boring. Lavender and blackberry takes the boredom away and gives it some sizzle. Here’s to lazy Sundays!!!
Something about Sundays! Sounds like we have the same idea for the ideal Sundays! haha! Thanks Marisa!
Scones are one of my favorites to bake-and eat! Sweeter than the biscuit, but tender with a nice crust..I hope I can squeeze these in this weekend!
Someone said savory..yes, you can play with any flavor combo, since they are quick and easy. I love a wild blueberry with white choc and a bit of cinnamon, or cheddar and old bay.
I haven’t had any trouble making them when I use a really cold butter, cut the stick in halves lenghtwise, turn, and do it again. Then slice into 1/3 to 1/2 inches (you’ll have 4 little squares in each slice). Rub this into your flour, until the size of small peas. Don’t overwork you dough is key, since the butter melts with working and you want to create pockets that the butter seeps from, creating its tenderness. Glaze, if you have to, but a light eggwash and/ or sanding sugar, or a quick brush with butter and/or honey when the come out makes for a beautiful and tasty treat.
I like to make minis, and use half of a whole grain flour, as well as add some coursely ground flaxseed when I can. You know, more fiber, and more nutrient dense 🙂
Ok, off to make scones now!
Thanks for the help Becky!!
Hope they went well for both of you!! (:
Yes, ma’am! You’re welcome!
I just cut all the spent lavender blossoms off my plants yesterday-perfect timing for these gorgeous scones. I always forget about the grating the butter-I think it’s easier to do if it’s frozen but thanks for the reminder!
Ah! How perfect and exciting!! Hope you enjoy!!
Ohh ! That would be a nice twist to add to my usual scones I bake about once a week !
I’m not a fan of white chocolate, but I’ll tried it combined with the blackberries in the scones ! With all the falvors I guess you’re right, it would just add the little sweetness sometimes scones lack !
YES!! I think it adds the perfect amount of sweetness!! Hope you do too!! Thanks Erika!
Woke up this morning and read your amazing recipe for scones then headed over to C&C as I always do after I read yours and there was your featured post! So exciting, congrats on an awesome collaboration : )
AH!! Thank you Kristin!!! (:
Absolutely gorgeous. Also, the incorporation of lavender is interesting! I can’t wait to make these and see how they turn out!

It’s so fun and tasty!! Hope you love them Jessica!!
scones are super stressful to work with but when you get it right? DAMN! so, so good. these look absolutely gorgeous xo
AGREED!! But so worth it when they come out just as you wanted them to!! (:
I usually would go for a biscuit or cornbread but these really look good.
I’ve had cheese scones but never ones with fruit so this is something I want to try after seeing these pictures.
Nancy!! You have to try them with fruit!! They’re delicious!!
Thank you!
WOW! Delicious and innovative- I bet they smell amazing when they are cooking 🙂
xo,

They really make the kitchen smell great!! Hope you love them.
Thanks Phyllis!
These sound amazing!! I love the idea of grating the butter like cheese – will definitely have to try that! Question though – where are the best places to find culinary grade lavender? I haven’t had any luck so far!
Hi Sarah Gonzales! I got mine from the farmers market, but search on amazon. that is where I get mine in the winter. Let me know if you have questions. Thank you!!
Hi Tieghan, thanks so much for your reply! When you purchase on amazon, do you have a preferred retailer? I often see many mixed reviews and it’s tough to know where to start! I appreciate any advice you may have – many thanks!
Hey Sarah! I but the 1 pound bag from Starwest. Here is the link:

YES!! I love when this happens!! I hope you love them Sarah!! Thank you!!
These are very tasty but a bit fragile I think they need to be kneaded a bit. I tried to split and butter one and it fell apart so ate it whole, delish
hi Virginia Taylor! Thank you so much, so happy you loved them! Sorry they turned out fragile, but glad you still enjoyed them. Thank again!
I love scones!!!! And these look positively amazing!!!

I’m not a scone person but I can’t get over how GORGEOUS these look. The lavender glaze is absolutely heavenly!
Ah, Thanks Cass! I think you would love them!!
Can you replace dried lavender with lavender sugar ? If yes how much lavender sugar should I use ? Thanks!
Hey Felicia! I would not recommend that since you are adding the lavender to a already sugary glaze. Let me know if you have questions. Thank you!
Thats it, I’m makin these for sure!! Wow!!
YAY! Your gonna love them!! (I hope!!)
Scones are the perfect thing to make when an evening baking craving hits as they are so quick to whip up! Blackberry, white chocolate and lavender sound so perfect together 🙂

I came upon this and thought it was a bit weird since it didn’t say geust post…even the about me is odd! Thought I’d share with you just incase it’s a copyright issue 🙂
Hey! Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention, I had no idea. Hoping to get it taken down ASAP. Thank you!
Hey! This recipe is awesome and it looks so tasteful! 🙂
I have a question, though, is buttermilk necessary? Because I can’t find where to buy it ? .-. or is there anything that can replace it?
Hi! You can use regular milk in place of the buttermilk. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so much! 🙂
I’m making the scones right now.. I grow the lavender so that helps. Don’t have to make a special trip,except for the blackberries. This is the second time I’m making the scones because they were a big hit with my husband and friends. They freeze well by the way.
YAY! This is so amazing to hear!! And fresh lavender? Yes! Thanks so much Barb, so happy you love these!
I don’t like blackberries. And I don’t like white chocolate much either. But you take some pretty darn awesome photos, and so of course I just had to try “this one Pinterest recipe” at least once. 😉
So I’m just writing to tell you now that these are my new favorite thing. I am planning a batch in the morning. 😉
Keep on kicking butt and taking names!
Wow yes!! SO happy you love these Carole! Thanks so much!
I made these yesterday morning (omitting the lavender because I didn’t have it). I avoid wheat and sugar myself, but I made them for my family. I must say, that these smelled so utterly incredible I decided to let myself have one bite. I made it about ten minutes and then decided to pay the price and eat a whole one. This recipe is INSANE incredible. My ten year old son ate EIGHT of them yesterday. My husband had five when he got home from work and didn’t end up eating dinner. These are one of my favorite things I have EVER baked. Bravo bravo on this recipe. What a winner!!!
YES!! SO so happy to hear these were such a big hit in your family! This is awesome! Thanks Carey!
I sure do love blueberry scones, but after seeing this recipe I’m going to have to try blackberry ones! And the added touch of white chocolate sounds so delicious!!
Yes!! I hope you love them Eden! Thank you!?
I did it last weekend and the family loved it! Thank you!
So happy you liked them, thank you!
Just made these for Sunday morning. Very good. Thanks for all your wonderful food and photos.
So happy you liked them, thanks Sue!
So happy you like them Sue, thank so much!
If I remember correctly, you had a link to purchse organic lavender buds. There were also organic rose petals on that site, but I can’t remember what it was.
Can you advise?
Hi Becky! Here are the rose buds I buy;

They look amazing! ?
Thank you!
Grating butter is the ONLY way to go for scones and biscuits!
Yes! It works so well!
I made these today for Mother’s Day and wowza. I used Cup4Cup gluten free flour because my mother is celiac and soy milk with apple cider vinegar instead of buttermilk because I didn’t have any. Regardless these turned out beautifully!!!My kitchen looked like a crime scene after because I decided mush up the blackberries before adding because the ones I had were HUGE. These are so tasty, not too dry, seriously a perfect scone. Thank you so much for the recipe!!
I am so happy these turned out amazing for you Anya!! My kitchen is always in need of a good cleaning after cooking too haha! Thank you!
Thanks for your delicious recipe!! These were amazing. We made it this morning with fresh lavender from our flower garden. Loved how simple it was to make. Thanks again!
Awh I am so glad you loved this recipe Emily! Thanks so much!
These are incredible, I made them this morning adn they were delicous. I even forgot to put the sugar in and felt that maybe I should have poured a little less icing and added a few less choc. chips. Great recipe making Tieghan, I really enjoyed your combination of flavors and your creativitiy in shredding the butter, I had never thought of that before. Thank you for sharing these wonderful treats and keep up the good work!
That is amazing! I am thrilled you loved these scones Lauren, thank you!!
Sooo tasty! Thanks for another great recipe. Probably I’m addicted to your recipes! ?
Haha happy to hear it! I hope you love this when you taste it Ola! Thanks!
Hi i would love to make this for my daughter who like anything with lavender, but she’s away to college, so I’m curious if its okay to send it as a care package? I will be mailing it from CA to MI).
Hmm, I am not sure. I think if you overnight them that might work. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
I have made these scones numerous times and each time they are FAB!!!!!! Thank u so much for the fun recipe!!!!
That is amazing! I am so glad you like these! Thank you!
Wow! Beautiful
Thank you Joao!
simply wonderful, congratulations!
Thank you Arthur!
Made these this afternoon and they’re lovely! The grating of butter is brilliant, and not something I’ve tried before – I think it’s a great idea!
As I am wont to do I made a tiny tweak – I used lavender sugar I had kicking around in the scones instead, as well as swapping 1/2 cup of AP for whole wheat flour. They were a bit crumbly to work with but came out beautifully. I also tried the 2 tsp of flowers in the glaze, figuring that the lavender sugar would balance out because I do usually like a stronger lavender flavour, and actually the sugar lent a “vibe” in the scones but not anything overwhelming. Next time I’ll do the full tbsp.
I am so glad you loved these Emjay! Thank you so much!
Hello! Okay, this blog post is from ages ago but I just found these scones the other day and made them today. They are lovely! And this glaze is everything.
I did however seem to pulverize my blackberries though while mixing them into the batter. What is your trick? My blackberries were also quite large… would it be even more disastrous if I were to cut the berries in half??
Thank you!
HI! Where the berries soft? If you can find smaller, firmer berries that works best as they can hold up easier to being mixed in the batter. I don’t recommend cutting the berries…that is messy! Please let me know if you have any other questions. So glad you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
These are the best scones I have ever had!!
I love to hear that! Thank you so much Sharry! xTieghan
SHow! Aguardamos o próximo conteúdo
Thank you! xTieghan
This might be a silly question, but I made these using fresh blackberries and they turned the mixture a blotchy purple. They weren’t anywhere near as visibly appealing as the ones you feature, any suggestions?
Hi!! I always suggest to gently mix the dough. If you over mix, the dough will turn purple, so try to just add the berries, gently mix, then cut and bake! It does not need to be perfect, just get the berries in. Once baked they will be perfect! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you!! xTieghan
These were delicious. Just a couple of minor changes. I used one cup of whole wheat flour in place of one cup of the all-purpose. I did not have lavender, nor could I find it, so I used lemon peel in its place. Next time I make these, I might add the blackberries and chips before adding the wet ingredients –it was difficult adding them after.
Thank you so much Jenny! I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe! xTieghan
Wowowowow AMAZING. I made them with frozen blueberries because I didn’t have blackberries at home. I also didn’t have buttermilk so I made my own using whole milk and a lemon. These are my new go to baked good for sure. The lavender really kicks it up a notch. Thank you for the great recipe!
Thank you Lia! I am so glad this recipe turned out so well for you!! xTieghan
Also I should mention I did not add white chocolate chips and it turned out perfect! Not too sweet and great for bfast.
My first time ever making scones, and they were delicious! The recipe was so easy to follow and the flavor combination was perfect!
Thank you so much Meg!! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Absolutely our new favorite. So delicious and easy.
Thank you Christa! xTieghan
Hello!! This recipe sounds amazing!! Thank you for it 🙂 could I replace the blackberries with blueberries? And can I use lavender oil instead of dried lavender? It’s rather expensive where I live but I have high grade oils that I can ingest.
Thank you!
Hi Chelsea,
Yes both of those would be fine to do! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Made these as a thank-you gift for my sister and her roommates when I visited and they were a SMASH! Now every time I visit they beg me to make the scones! I did end up modifying the recipe by adding less chocolate chips just because my batter didn’t seem to be holding them. I also couldn’t find any lavender sprigs so I used lavender and chamomile tea bags and steeped those in the milk! Turned out fabulous!!
That is so great! I am so glad this turned out so well for you all, Katherine! Thank you!! xTieghan
Hi, these look amazing! Do you think they would work with blueberries instead of black berries? I have a lot of frozen blueberries right now.
Thanks! and I can’t wait to make these!
Pam
Hi Pam,
Yes blueberries would work well in this recipe! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Where do you get the lavender?
Hi Paula,
I grow my lavender but you can also order online. I recommend gourmetsweetbotanicals.com I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
These look so yummy and i cannot wait to try…once I pick up some black raspberries.
I have a little scone trick I learned a while back, Scones can be made up to the point of baking then refrigerated overnight.
In the morning, simply pre-heat the oven, brush with cream and bake. The scones come out light and fluffy because the butter is super cold from the refrigeration. All the clean up can be done the night before so there is no effort needed in the morning…win, win.
Ina Garten says this can be done with muffin batter as well but I have yet to try it.
Ooo yes!! Thank you so much for sharing this, Nancy!! xTieghan
I made these lastnight and they came out absolutely amazing! They’ve officially become my favorite pastry I have ever baked. The lavender glaze adds the best flavor.
Wow that is so amazing to hear! Thank you! xTieghan
Hi Tieghan.
First of all I think your recipes are divine! You are so creative!
I do all my baking with metric measurements…is there any way that you could include that?
Thank you!
Hi Sharonn! I have been trying to add it in, but it gets pretty tricky since I do not have a scale. xTieghan
For the 3/4 cup cold cream or buttermilk can I use plant based milk such as Ripple or Milkadamia?
Hi Christine,
Yes a plant based milk will work as well. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
These look amazing! I loved the lemon blueberry thyme loaf so I will be trying these for sure!
Thank you Gail! I hope these turn out amazing for you! xTieghan
What % of cream ( rather than buttermilk) ? 35?
Hi Kaitlin,
I like to use heavy cream. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This looks so delicious. I wish I too had access to all these fresh herbs and produce.
Thank you so much Nihala!! xTieghan
I have fresh lavender how much should I use in the milk?
Not a fan of lavendar, so I’ll try with strawberries (from today’s farm share) ! Thank you 🙂
Thank you Amy! I hope you love these! xTieghan
Can I make these with butterscotch morsels instead of white Chocolate? Also, love your recipes!! 🙂
Hi Nirja,
Yes that would work! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Could I make these using gluten free flour?
Hi Kat,
You can use an equal amount of your favorite gluten free flour. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Will definitely try this! If my aunt is allergic to lavender, what can I use instead or just leave it out?
Hi Anna,
You can just omit the lavender. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
really loved these! I had a bag of mixed berries in freezer so I used (blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and strawberry combo) I didn’t have white choc chips but I had a white chocolate bar which I grated like the butter – no chunks to identify while eating but I’m guessing still imparted a nice subtle flavor.
Thank you Nina! xTieghan
My husband snd I loved these! Very yummy!
Thank you so much Addie! xTieghan
First off, super idea to shred cold butter on the cheese grater! Never heard of that genius idea! Secondly, I know people hate to hear others adaptations, but I had to sub a bit to use what I had, in order to use the lavender. I bought two plants and wanted to try your recipe. I used the blueberries I had and omitted white chocolate chips I didn’t have. .Increased sugar to 3/4 cup for the sweetness. Plucked fresh lavender, steeped in the milk and butter and glazed my 9 scones. Very well received by my husband on this Father’s Day. Thank you, Tieghan!
Hi Betsy! I love when you all can adapt a recipe to make it special to you! And I am so glad this one turned out well for you! Thank you! xTieghan
I made these this morning and they are delicious!!!
Thank you so much Kitty! xTieghan
I made these for Father’s Day breakfast and they were delicious. Maybe one of the best scones I’ve ever had, rivaling even the most delicious scones I’ve bought. The texture was perfect and the flavor was fantastic.
That is so amazing to hear, Tanya! Thank you so much! xTieghan
These were my first attempt at making scones and boy were they delicious!!! I’m obsessed with your recipes and this one makes the top 10!!
Thank you Debra!! I am so glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
I made these as written other than using fresh blueberries since I didn’t have any blackberries. I chopped a 4.5 oz Lindt white chocolate bar and used it in place of the chips. They came out quite well despite a fair amount of butter running out onto my silpat & baking tray. I wish you had put an approximate amount of confectioners sugar in the ingredient list. I started out with a couple of tablespoons, and then realized you must have used sooooo much more to get the white color (Milk + dried lavender = brownish). My glaze had great flavor after about 3/4 cup confectionary sugar, but definitely not white. Overall, a very good recipe. (And you need to get a scale. I live in the US and I use it all the time)
Thank you so much Andrea!! I am really glad you enjoyed this recipe! xTieghan
Not sure if I did something wrong?
I doubled the recipe, so I used 24T of butter – 3 sticks. (Yield was 24 scones) As they were almost done baking they were sitting in a pool of butter on the sheet pan- (I baked 12 at a time) and as they sat to cool, so I could transfer them, they soaked the butter back up. They have almost an oily mouth feel, one friend said they were too wet. When you baked them, did you have a lot of butter melt out?
Hi Dawn,
Unfortunately doubling a baking recipe doesn’t always turn out well. Next time I would recommend making two batches. So sorry about this! xTieghan
OK these were so flavorful!!! I had a great recipe but this is so good, thank you!
Love to hear that! Thank you Abby! xTieghan
Made this over the weekend for a meeting I had to go to. So good…I love steeping the lavender for the glaze. Tastes so good. Can’t wait to make them again. Delicious!
Thank you so much Rebecca! I am so glad you have been loving this one! xTieghan
These were so good! The flavors complement each other so well. The lavender glave is amazing. I always worry about overmixing so mine were a lot “looser” than the ones in the picture above, but they were still very good.
Thank you Ellaina! I am really glad you enjoyed these scones!! xTieghan
This turned out looking like someone ate a bunch of grapes and vomited on the baking sheet. I think a cup and a half of berries is way too much. There is no way to add the berries without mashing them because scone dough is extremely thick and dry. The recipe sounded delicious but im extremely disappointed . Also, the white chips do not melt, Fyi. If you can offer any tips Id be happy to hear them. This was just awful. And yes ive made scones before that I had no problem with.
Hey Lisa, sorry you have had some trouble. Most really love and enjoy these scones, so not sure what might be happening. Next time, why don’t you try only using 1 cup of berries and see if that helps a bit. Also, it sounds like your dough wad maybe too dry to mix in the berries. I would add a touch more buttermilk (start with 2-4 tablespoons) to loosen the dough up. And you can of course omit the white chocolate if you don’t care for it.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you!! xTieghan
I just put the dough in the fridge but it seems so goopy to me! What did I do wrong!
Hi Eliana,
So sorry you are having issues. It is hard to know what happened without knowing whether you adjusted the recipe or not? Please let me know how I can help! xTieghan
These were amazing and simple to make! Thankful I dried my lavender and saved in a small jar! Topped with a few fresh buds once glazed! Amazing! Thanks so much! Will definitely be making these again 🙂
Thank you so much Tiffany!! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
I made these twice and both times they did not come out right. Is it possible that the butter and cream/buttermilk ratios are off? There was a great deal of butter that oozed out of them onto the baking sheet, which was probably because they did not come together very well in the mixing. They were much too dry. I’ll probably try a cup of the cream next time to see if it comes together a little bit better, and decrease the butter a bit. The flavor was nice but they didn’t really work out as I normally have scones turn out. Any advice?
Hey Sonny! A lot of times when baking your environment can play an effect on the result of the baked good. Since it is really dry here in Colorado I often have to add 1/4 cup additional cream to help the dough come together. Where do you live? Maybe this is also your issue? I would try using 1 cup of cream to see if that helps, but I’d leave the butter as is unless you really feel like there is too much.
Hoping this helps!! Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you!! xTieghan
I made this and used gluten free all purpose flour! It turned out great. I did have to bake a little longer about 25 minutes.
Love that! Thank you so much Madeline! xTieghan
I loved this recipe! Thank you so much, it was so different to anything I made before. And so quick, and easy! The first time I made it, I followed the recipe exactly. The second time, I wanted to change it up a bit so I put raspberries instead of blackberries and rose water in the icing instead of lavender. Which turned out really nice too! I would recommend trying that to anyone who enjoyed the original recipe. Thank you Tieghan!
Thank you so much Nora!! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you!! I hope yu continue to enjoy my recipes! xTieghan
They were delicious, but I have to tell you, they were a bear to fix. They were so crumbly and I couldn’t get them together. I finally just balled them up and then flattened them with my hands.i am going to have to figure out what works for me. I make other scones that just are so easy. But they WERE good.
Hi Kay! I am glad this turned out well for you! Is there anything I can help you with? xTieghan
Just another amazing and easy recipe. These scones are bakery worthy. At first I wasn’t sure they would turn out because my dough was really wet may have had too many berries. They turned out amazing and I will make them again and again. I am addicted to halfbaked harvest and always trying new recipes.
Aw that is so great to hear! Thank you so much for trying this and others, Vicki! xTieghan
Good!
Thank you Karen! xTieghan
Your recipes are amazing, everything I’ve made has turned out delicious. I’m not much of a baker however but I decided to make these after my neighbor bought some to me for my birthday. Made just as the recipe indicated and they were amazing..flaky and the flavors were delectable..thank you, we need a new TV cooking show star and you would be the best!
Aw you are too sweet! Thank you so much for trying this Sandy! xTieghan
How should these be stored? Room temperature or in the fridge? 🥰
Hey Grace,
I would keep these at room temperature in an airtight container. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
These look delicious! Would it work if I made the dough in the evening and then baked in the morning?
Hey Abbey,
Yes that would work! I would recommend keeping the dough cold in the fridge. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Can we substitute buttermilk for coconut cream?
Hey Astrid,
Yes you can use coconut cream here. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
My family’s summer breakfast go tos are normally some sort of bread and a hard boiled egg. Would these save well overnight and maybe just reheated?
Hey Erin,
Yes that is totally fine, just keep in an airtight container. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
sounds so good! Could you tell me how many gramm 12 tablespoon butter are?
Thank you so!
Hannah
Hey Hannah,
12 tablespoons of butter is about 170 grams of butter. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
wonderful 🙂 Instead of milk/cream/buttermilk I subbed full-fat coconut milk and everything turned out great.
Amazing! I am really glad this turned out so well for you, Annie! xTieghan
Do you have any recommendations to avoid getting the dough too wet? That was my difficulty – my first try and I used milk instead of cream. I had a good shaggy dough but it got wetter once I added the berries in – maybe too many blackberries? I tried with a white/wheat flour mix as well and also turned out too dry. I don’t think those substitutions worked out too well in my case but I really feel the wetness of the dough was my downfall. I look forward to trying again though – maybe even adding some lemon zest to it!
Hey Nadia,
Sorry you were having issues with the substitutes. Next time try using frozen blackberries as they will release less liquid. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I made them today and this is the best scone recipe I tried so far! They turned out super flaky and buttery, soft inside, almost like giant american style cookies. I used frozen blackberries and it was quite hard to incorporate them into the dough – a gentle push with a rolling pin did the job. I also added lightly chopped Lindt white chocolate chunks instead of chips – and I must admit that the bigger chunks the better!
Thank you!! I am so happy this recipe turned out so well for you, Agnes! Thank you so much! xTieghan
These are literally the best scones ever! I have already made them so many times, and my family adores them!
That is so amazing to hear! Thank you Megan! xTieghan
I was intimated at first, having never made scones before. This rustic approach left little room for error and the finished product was amazing. So many compliments! Thank you.
Thank you Susan!! I am so happy to hear that! xTieghan
Where do you buy lavender to cook with?? These sound wonderful..I have never made scones but this recipe makes me want to!
Hey Tina,

Hello! These sound DELICIOUS and I plan on making them very soon! How can these be stored? Or must the be eaten right away?
Hey Nicole,
You can store this in an airtight container on the counter. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Making these for the 3rd time! My ABSOLUTE fav!!!!
Thank you so much Lauren! xTieghan
Super easy recipe! These bake up and make super cakey scones. The lavender glaze was also perfectly floral and not overwhelming. Perfectly couple with a cup of tea. Excellent job Tieghan, can’t wait to try more recipes! 🙂
Thank you so much Tabitha! I am so happy this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
It’s never crossed my mind to put lavender in baked goods before. This is super creative! Thanks!!
Thank you so much Suzanne! xTieghan
First time making scones and these were amazing! I’m going to try utilizing fresh cranberries for the holidays.
Yes! I am really happy to hear that, Susan! Thank you for trying this recipe! xTieghan
Love this recipe!! What flour do you recommend to make it gluten free???!!!! ( the scones). Thanks so much. LA
Hey Loriann,
I would recommend using Cup4cup GF flour. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! Happy Holidays! xTieghan
These were a huge hit! Everyone absolutely loved them! If I wanted to make a mini version next time, would I need to reduce the cooking time?
Hey Sneh,
Thanks so much for making the recipe, I am so glad it was enjoyed! xTieghan
These look amazing! I’m making these for a tea party and was wondering if you can freeze them? I wanted to do as much as I could ahead of time.
Hey Chrissi,
Sure, you could definitely freeze these! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Scrumptious! I made these the day before, put them in the fridge overnight and baked them in the morning for optimal freshness and they turned out perfectly! Will be making again!
Hey Breanne,
Thanks a lot for giving the recipe a try, I am thrilled that the recipe was enjoyed! Have a fantastic weekend! xTieghan
Would half-and-half work okay as the cream? I’m trying to get rid of the excess we have in the house!
Thanks!!
Hey Mary,
Yes, that will work just fine. I hope you love the scones. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I’ve had this recipe saved since the summer and bought lavender immediately to try. Finally got around to making them for Easter this year! Huge hit with the whole family. First time I tried making scones and they turned out amazing. Thanks for the great recipe!!
