1-2-3 Lavender Biscuits Recipe

1-2-3 Lavender Biscuits

Recipe by Jackie Cameron

The One, Two, Three Biscuit ensures instant treats because left-over dough can be frozen. The basic requirements are one part sugar, two parts butter and three parts flour. Flavours can be added. I use these popular biscuits for many of the desserts served atHartford House.

Yields : 40

Ingredients :

60g Caster Sugar

120g Salted Butter

180g Flour

Fresh Lavender to taste

Method :

1) Cream the sugar and butter together

2) Add the chopped lavender

3) Finish with the flour amount

4) Knead the dough together. Put half the dough onto a piece of greaseproof paper. Top with another piece of paper and roll this mixture out thinly with a rolling pin. Remove the top piece of paper. Use a cutter and cut the desired biscuit shapes out. Remove any excess biscuit mixture and place this, paper with cut out biscuits on, into the fridge. Continue until all the biscuit mixture is rolled out and sitting in the fridge.

5) Remove each individual biscuit from the paper and place onto a greased oven tray and bake at 140'C for 14 minutes or until cooked

Hi Jackie,

Tried this recipe, was FAB, wanted a bit of a "twist" and instead of Lavender, used Rosemary - yummy!!!!

We'll have the pleasure of once again being at Hartford from Thursday 24 - Sunday 27 September - looking forward to your exquisite food!!

Hi Suzette

We keep on missing each other from dinner to breakfast and now I have just tried to get a hold of you on your room number. Oh boy! Thanks so much for your comments. I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe. The inclusion of Rosemary sound stunning bringing sweet and savoury flavours together.

I hope you have the time to take pleasure in more of the recipes on the blog.
All the best

Jackie

Hi Thanks for your recipe, can I use dry lavender?

I want to make this biscuit for my students, the first time I tried this biscuits I was in York in Uk.

See you

Hi Antonio, you can most definitely use dry lavender but just remember that this should be a lot more intense than fresh.
All the best with these and shout if you have any other foodie questions.
Have a wonderful rest of your day.

Yours in hospitality
