# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
06 - 2/3 cup whole milk, cold
07 - 2 tablespoons fresh dandelion petals, pesticide-free, yellow parts only
08 - 2 tablespoons honey
09 - 1 large egg

→ Topping and Serving

10 - 1 tablespoon honey for drizzling
11 - 2 tablespoons fresh dandelion petals for garnish
12 - Clotted cream for serving

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - Using a pastry cutter or fingertips, cut the cold cubed butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces remaining.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together cold milk, honey, egg, and dandelion petals until well incorporated.
05 - Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients. Using a fork, stir gently until just combined; do not overmix to maintain tender crumb structure.
06 - Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat into a 1-inch-thick round disc. Using a knife, cut into 8 equal wedges and transfer to prepared baking sheet.
07 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes until scones are golden brown and puffed throughout.
08 - Remove from oven and cool slightly. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle additional dandelion petals over top. Serve warm with generous portions of clotted cream.
