Easy Lavender Shortbread Biscuits
Delicious little biscuits with a delicate lavender flavour. Easy to make with just five ingredients.
Servings: 20 biscuits
Ingredients
- 50 g sugar
- 130 g butter - at room temperature
- 200 g self-raising flour
- 1 tbsp chopped lavender leaves
- 2 tsp lavender flowers
Instructions
- Using an electric mixer cream butter and sugar together, then beat in the flour and lavender leaves, once the mixture starts to come together (initially it will be very crumbly) press it together with the heel of you hand, then turn it out onto a floured surface and kneed briefly.
- Lightly chill the dough for 20 mins then roll to the thickness of a pound coin. Use a pastry cutter to cut the biscuits, press a few lavender flowers onto each biscuit, transfer to a baking parchment covered sheet (I use any old cheap grease proof paper) and bake at GM4/ 180C.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes – until golden, remove from oven and peel from the baking paper when firm and transfer to a wire rack.
