# Blueberry Lavender Scones #baking #scones #thermomix #blueberry #lavender #chefs-favorite #summer-recipe *Published October 13, 2024* Experience the perfect harmony of sweet blueberries and aromatic lavender in these tender, flaky scones. Harnessing the precision of the Thermomix, these scones are a breeze to prepare and a true delight for your taste buds. ## Ingredients - 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour - 1/2 tsp (2.5g) sea salt - 2 1/2 tsp (12g) baking powder - 1 tbsp (5g) dried lavender flowers, plus extra for topping - 1/2 cup (100g) turbinado sugar - 1/2 cup (1 stick or 115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed - 1/3 cup (80ml) heavy whipping cream, plus extra for brushing - 1 large egg - 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract - 1 1/4 cups (190g) fresh blueberries ## Instructions 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Add flour, sea salt, baking powder, lavender, and turbinado sugar to the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 5 seconds on speed 6 to evenly blend the dry ingredients. 3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the Thermomix bowl. Gradually increase speed to 5 and mix for 10-15 seconds until the butter resembles tiny crumbs. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. 4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. 5. Gently fold the blueberries into the flour mixture in the large mixing bowl. 6. Pour the cream mixture over the dry ingredients. Using your hands, gently turn and fold the mixture until it forms a shaggy dough. Be careful not to over mix or crush too many blueberries. 7. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch (2.5cm) thick. 8. Using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, cut the dough into 8-10 wedges (a pro-tip for consistent scones is to also use a biscuit cutter, a 2" biscuit cutter yields the best results, but will take a bit longer to bake). Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. 9. Brush the tops of the scones with additional cream. Sprinkle with a little turbinado sugar and extra lavender flowers. 10. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 11. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. ## Chef's Notes - The Thermomix ensures perfect incorporation of the butter into the dry ingredients, resulting in exceptionally flaky scones. - For best results, keep all ingredients chilled until ready to use. - You can also use a 2" biscuit cutter - These scones are best enjoyed on the day they're baked but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. - If you prefer smaller scones, you can pat the dough into two 6-inch circles and cut each into 6 wedges, yielding 12 scones total. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes for smaller scones. Pair these homemade Thermomix Blueberry Lavender Scones with a steaming cup of Earl Grey tea for a truly unforgettable teatime experience! ## Get in Touch or Shop Thermomix Have questions about Thermomix care or recipes?
