- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and maple syrup.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry, mixing until just barely combined. Your mixture should be rough at this stage.
- Move the dough to a floured surface and gently knead the dough for a few minutes into a rough ball.
- Form the dough into a flattened circle and cut 6-8 wedges, placing them slightly apart on your prepared baking sheet.
- Chill scones in the fridge while you preheat your oven to 400ºF.
- Brush the tops of the scones lightly with milk and sprinkle with white and brown sugar.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and risen slightly.
For the icing:
- While the scones cool slightly, whisk together the milk and powdered sugar for the icing.
- Drizzle icing over the top of your scones and sprinkle a bit more lavender on top before serving.
