Today I made lavender biscuits for my lovely sister's birthday. With four massive lavender bushes in the garden, there's plenty to pick and they've been in perfect bloom for the last few weeks. I wanted to make the most of them before they get dry and dusty.
150g of butter
80g of caster sugar and 10g of vanilla sugar
230g Plain Flour
1 free range egg yolk
1 small handful of finely chopped lavender leaves
1 small handful of lavender flowers
Cream together the butter and sugar, then add flour, lavender leaves and egg yolk. Mix together and roll out into a long log, chop into 20 disks and place on a greased baking tray. Press a pinch of lavender flowers onto the biscuits. Cook for 15 minutes, allow to cool and transfer to a wire tray to set and then feverishly devour them.
