well, i made the lavender shortbread last night. I only had French laveneder, but it still worked really well. If anyone wants to try it, the recipe is a Donna Hay recipe and is as follows:
220g butter
1 c castor sugar
1 egg
2 c flour
1/2 c cornflour
1 tbsp lavender buds
2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
cream butter and sugar, beat in egg. stir in rest of ingredients to make a soft dough. I refrigerated itn for about 30 minutes at this point. then rolled out, cut into 4cm rounds and baked at 160 for 15-20 minutes. It made about 45 biscuits

You can tell that it is lavender, but it's not perfumey at all. I think
the lemon cut through that perfumed flavour. But it looks really pretty
with the lavender through it. In the latest home and garden magazine,
there is a recipe for pansy sable biscuits, with chopped pansies through
them and a crystallised pansy on top. I thought I would try those
next!!! Not everyday biscuits obviously, but they look really pretty as
a gift!!
