How to make it

  • 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...
