Lavender Scones

*I teamed up with doTERRA to bring you this post. I’m a huge scone fan, but all too often scones are dense and dry.  I like my scones to be rich, and a tiny bit flaky, like a good biscuit–not cakey.  These lavender biscuits fit the bill and make a delicious addition to a picnic or an […]
