03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

09 - Dandelion honey, for drizzling
10 - 1 cup clotted cream

# How to Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and sea salt until evenly blended.
03 - Add cold, cubed butter and use a pastry blender or fingertips to work butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
04 - Whisk together dandelion honey, whole milk, and egg in a separate bowl, blending until smooth.
05 - Pour wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently using a fork or spatula just until combined; avoid overmixing.
06 - Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch-thick round.
07 - Using a 2.5-inch round cutter, cut scones. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Regather scraps and repeat until all dough is utilized.
08 - Brush tops of scones lightly with milk for a golden finish.
09 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until risen and golden brown.
10 - Transfer scones to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature with clotted cream and a drizzle of dandelion honey.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They bake up light with a subtle floral sweetness that feels like a secret garden treat.
  • You get the best excuse to slow down, pour tea, and savor every bite with friends or solo.
02 -
  • Scones turn tough if you overwork the dough—I learned this after enthusiastically kneading.
  • Brushing milk on top gives a gorgeous sheen—skip it and the crust stays dull.
03 -
  • Cutting scones quickly prevents dough from warming and losing its lightness.
  • Dried dandelion petals sprinkled in add a whimsical, subtle texture that feels authentically spring.
