· 1/2 Tsp salt
· 2 1/2 Tsp baking powder
· 1 cup unsalted butter, frozen and grated
· 1 cup oat milk
· 1 large egg
· 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
· 2 teaspoons lemon extract
· Juice of 1 lemon + Zest

Instructions
For the scones:
- Preheat your oven to 425ºF.
- Shred frozen butter, with a box grater, or food processor.
- In a mixing bowl, add all-purpose flour, baking powder, Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener and salt. Whisk them together, to make sure everything is incorporated.
- Then, add the butter to the dry ingredients, and combine until the butter is incorporated and looks like little beads.
- Once the dry ingredients and butter are combined, add in your oat milk, egg, vanilla bean paste, lemon extract, lemon and food-grade lavender. Mix until the dough just comes together. You don’t want to overwork the dough, and you want the butter to stay relatively cool for those flaky layers.
- Spread some flour out on your work surface and cover your hands in flour so the dough doesn’t stick. Your dough may be a little sticky in this stage – that’s OK. Roll the dough out and fold it on top of itself 6-8 times. That’s going to create some layering and pockets for the butter.
- Press it out into a circular shape and cut it into 8 triangles. You might need to wet your knife for this, so the dough doesn’t stick to it.
- Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes.
For the Glaze:
- Combine Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener, lemon juice, lemon zest and water, and mix it together. It should be a thinner consistency for drizzling with a spoon on top of the scones.
- Once the scones have baked, take them out of the oven to cool completely, and then drizzle with the glaze, and a few extra lavender flowers.
