Yesterday I made lavender scones and lemon curd. I also served them with my homemade apricot jam. I meet with a small group of friends from church twice a month. It was my turn to host and I had time to bake. We also had iced tea, because it was too warm for hot tea last night.
I am trying to copy a lavender scone we had at a tea house in Capitola. Mine are good, but not quite as light. There's a crispy yet fluffy texture that I have yet to duplicate. It was the first time I'd made lemon curd. I was happy with it, although it was more tart than others I've tasted. But I like the tart flavor. I used lots of lemon zest.
The apricots, lemons and lavender all came from my yard!
