LAVENDER BISCUITS.

I love the lavender bush, the lavender flower, aroma and flavour. Some years ago, I introduced lavender sugar to the required list of requirements for the 'country' cooking class where we made these biscuits. We made our own lavender sugar ......Place 20 lavender blossoms in a medium sized jar and fill with castor sugar, stir through the blossoms. Cover with a lid and leave for 14 days, shaking the jar every couple of days. Ingredients.....125gm of butter/ marg, 175gm of plain flour, 75gm of lavender sugar, 1 tsp of dried lavender, chopped, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 50gm of dark chocolate, melted. Preheat your oven to 200deg C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Rub the butter/ marg into the flour until it looks like breadcrumbs. Add the lavender sugar, dried lavender, vanilla extract and knead to a smooth dough. Roll out on a lightly floured surface and cut into rounds. Place on the prepared baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until golden. Cool on the tray for 2 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Finally drizzle with the melted chocolate. Share and enjoy.
