Turkey Free Earl Grey Lavender Scones
Floral, fragrant, and just sweet enough, these scones are the kind of baked good that makes an ordinary morning feel like a proper occasion. Steeped Earl Grey tea weaves a subtle bergamot flavor through every bite, while dried culinary lavender adds a delicate herbal note that never tips into soapy territory. Oat flour and almond flour team up to create a tender, slightly nutty crumb that holds together beautifully without any fuss. Solid coconut oil stands in for butter, giving the dough those essential flaky, crumbly pockets that make a scone worth eating. A honey-Earl Grey drizzle on top ties everything together with a glossy, lightly perfumed finish. Whether you're hosting a weekend brunch or just treating yourself to something special with your afternoon tea, these come together with straightforward pantry ingredients and zero poultry products anywhere in sight — no hidden broths, no meat-based additives, nothing to second-guess.
