Equipment

Ingredients

  • 125 grams butter, softened 9 tablespoons
  • 60 grams caster sugar (plus extra for dusting) ¼ cup
  • 180 grams plain flour 1 ½ cups
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons dried lavender

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper and put to one side for now.
  • In a stand mixer or mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar. Mix together until light, fluffy and smooth.
  • Add the flour and combine to get a smooth paste. It may look a little crumbly, but it will hold together. Add the honey and the lavender.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and roll out your dough to approximately 0.5cm (1/4 an inch) thick.
  • Using a cutter, cut into 10-12 rounds and place on the baking sheet. You'll probably end up with one biscuit made up of the leftovers from the rest - this is my favourite as it's always the first to get eaten!
  • Put the biscuits in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to firm up. Preheat the oven to 330 ºF or 165 ºC.
  • Sprinkle some caster sugar on the top, and then pop in the oven for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown on the top.
  • When they're ready, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy with a cup of tea.
