  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter diced
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk plus 1 or 2 tablespoons if needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick liner.

  3. Whisk together lavender powder, flour, oats, granulated sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  4. Use a pastry blender to cut butter into dry ingredients until the dough is crumbly.
  5. Add buttermilk and stir a wooden spoon until dough mostly comes together.
  6. Turn out dough on a work surface and knead gently until dough comes together. Shape dough into a circle about 2 inches thick. Cut dough into 8 wedges and transfer wedges to prepared baking sheet.
