There's just something so cozy about baking on a spring morning when the weather is cool outside. Sunshine filtering in through the kitchen window, the soft whir of the fridge, and the anticipation of something yummy imminent to scent the air. My grandmother, God bless her, always said that baking was giving a little love, and I'm afraid that I could not disagree more. I had a good chat with my friend recently regarding his new puppy, which I have not met yet, but we will definitely fall in love at first sight when I do! We both said the joy of looking after something small, new, and fragile, and I couldn't help but crave baking!
These Lemon Chamomile Spring Scones are a beautiful expression of that idea. They're light, scented, and sweetly just right to brighten up the day. Zingy lemon and soothing chamomile combined create a genuinely lovely flavor sensation that's comforting and invigorating. I think of the puppy and think it must feel as cozy and pleasant as these scones do.
No matter how you serve them—a cup of tea on a lazy afternoon or during a spring brunch—these scones are sure to be a success. And, they're really not terribly difficult to prepare even for the non-baker among you. So, pull out your apron, gather ingredients, and let's spread a little love, one scone at a time. The greatest thing about cooking is you get to make people feel like they're being given a big warm bear hug! A little sweet gesture towards people who care to you! A reminder to you all! As the sunshine peeks out and you keep on reading, let's jump into this great recipe!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; it’s a step I nearly missed the last time, and cleanup was a NIGHTMARE!
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and chamomile tea. Make sure the tea is evenly distributed; nobody wants a mouthful of just tea leaves!
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This is where cold butter is crucial; it creates those lovely, flaky layers we all adore.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and lemon extract. Don't overmix – a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky, and that’s exactly what we want.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a 1-inch thick disc. Use a biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out scones. I personally like using a large cookie cutter for fun shapes.
- Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little extra buttermilk and sprinkle with coarse sugar for that delightful crunch.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them; ovens vary, and you don’t want burnt bottoms.
- Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool slightly. They're best served warm with a dollop of clotted cream or your favorite jam. Honestly, they're divine even on their own!
