Lavender Shortbread Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • • Line two large baking trays with baking paper.
  • • Sieve the sugar into a bowl and reserve the lavender (this stops the lavender seeds getting broken when creaming the butter and sugar). Add the butter and cream the sugar and butter together.
  • • Sift the flour and ground rice into the mixture, add the reserved lavender seeds and mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • • Using floured hands, work the mixture together to form a smooth paste.
  • • Tip onto a lightly floured work surface and knead gently until the dough is smooth. Chill the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • • Roll the dough out to a 5mm/¼in thickness, and cut out biscuits using a heart-shaped cutter. Place the hearts onto the baking trays, and sprinkle with a little extra lavender sugar.
  • • Leave to chill for a further 30 minutes in the fridge.
  • • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180C/ 350F/Gas 4.
  • • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until pale golden-brown. Carefully place the biscuits onto a cooling rack., sprinkle with extra lavender sugar and set aside to cool completely.
