Its been a lavender frenzy here at MISS POPPY`S HQ today. Rain was forecast for later, so I decided to get on with my lavender harvest. I only got to deal with one of my monsterous bushes and filled a cardboard box with lavender flowers. These will be turned every few days to ensure an even `dry`. I have lots of planned uses for my bumper harvest, from lavender pomanders, to additions to my soap and balms AND in the kitchen. Below is a Lavender biscuit recipewhich I made today. Its apparently a favorite of the Duchess of Cornwall (Camilla) perhaps she offers some to Wills and Kate when they pop in for a cuppa!  |
| 1 Cream the butter and most of the sugar together (save some for later) |
Ingredients :
70g sugar
110g butter/marg (I used Flora Buttery)
150g plain flour
25g rolled oats
1 tablespoon fresh lavender flowers
 |
| 3 Mix into a dough and chill in fridge for 15 mins. |
 |
| 2 Add flour and oats |
 |
| 4 Roll out so it`s 1cm thick |
 |
| 5 Use cutter of your choice, place on a greased baking sheet and sprinkle with the rest of the lavender sugar |
 |
| 6 Chill for another 15 mins. Then bake at gas mark 4 for 20 mins. |
 |
| 7 Finally, relax with an afternoon cuppa and a biccie. |
Enjoy! See you soon XX
