Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the squares on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with cream. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serve the scones warm, drizzled with lavender glaze and butter, if desired.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
To shred butter, freeze it for 10-15 minutes and use a box grater. Keep butter as cold as possible.
02 -
To make homemade buttermilk, mix 1 scant cup of milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until thickened and curdled.
