Ingredients

2 c flour

3 Tbsp sugar

1 Tbsp baking powder

2 tsp lavender flowers

1 tsp salt

1/4 lb cold unslated butter, cut into 1/4" cubes

1 c heavy cream (+ extra to glaze)

Creme Fraiche

Berries (in sugar, w juice)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 and butter a baking sheet

Sift together the flour, 2 Tbsp sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.

Mix in the lavender flowers (or sift them in with the other ingredients, if you prefer).

Cut in the butter until the dough is a coarse meal.

Add 1 c of cream and mix. The dough will be tacky.

Flour a work surface, and spread out the dough to about 3/4" thick.

Cut into rounds (3" should make 12 biscuits).

Brush the tops with cream and sprinkle with the remaining sugar.

Bake until the biscuits just brown, about 20 minutes.

Cool on a rack for 5 minutes.

Serve with Creme Fraiche and berries, spooned over the halved biscuits.

I unfortunately discovered a few months back that I'm allergic to eating lavender. :( But this recipe does sound good! I have a wonderful rosemary shortbread recipe I'll have to post...
