This is one of my favourite recipes for using up the lavender in the garden. It makes about 40 biscuits.
Ingredients
125 grams of butter
100 grams of caster sugar
1 egg
150 grams of self raising flour
Four or five lavender flowers depending on taste
Method
Cream the butter and sugar together until smooth. Beat in the egg. Add the lavender flowers and mix well. Add the sieved self raising flour and mix until it is all incorporated. Grease the baking trays. Use a teaspoon to take out a teaspoon full of mixture. Mould the mixture into a ball and squash to form a small biscuit shape. Be careful not to place the biscuits too close together on the baking trays as they will double in size during cooking. Cook for 170 degrees Celsius/ 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes until just starting to turn golden brown around the edges.
