Short Term Storage

If you’re planning to enjoy them within a day, just pop them in an airtight container at room temperature. This keeps them soft and yummy!

Here’s a quick summary in a simple table:

Tips & Tricks

I’ve found some awesome ways to make these lemon-lavender biscuits even more amazing! 🍋💜 Let’s get baking!

• Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor. It adds a bright, zesty kick that dried zest just can’t match.
• I like to infuse the sugar with lavender by mixing them together a bit before using. This way, every bite has that lovely floral hint.

Equipment

• Mixing bowls
• Whisk
• Baking sheet
• Rolling pin
• Pastry cutter

Ingredients

• Butter: Keep it cold to ensure flaky biscuits.
• I cut mine into small cubes.
• Milk or buttermilk: For an even richer flavor, try buttermilk.
• Lavender sugar: Make your own by mixing lavender and sugar, then let it sit for a night.

Instructions

• Chill my dough before rolling it out for biscuits that rise higher and flakier. ❄️
• Cut out uniform biscuits with a sharp cutter without twisting.
• This helps them rise evenly!
• Bake on the middle rack. This prevents the bottoms from browning too fast.

Experiment with the lavender amount. A little can go a long way, but it’s fun to adjust to taste!

Remember to handle the dough as little as possible to keep it tender.

I love seeing these beauties rise in the oven! 😊

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m super excited to share some secrets on making delicious lemon-lavender biscuits! 🌿🍋

Here, we’ll cover key techniques and tips to make your recipes stand out. Let’s get started!

What are the secret ingredients to make the best lemon-lavender biscuits ever?

To make these biscuits pop, I always use fresh lemons and high-quality dried lavender.

Adding a bit of vanilla extract ensures a lovely, mellow finish.

Don’t forget a pinch of salt to balance sweetness!

How can I incorporate lavender into my shortbread cookies for a delightful twist?

I mix dried lavender with the sugar, letting it sit for an hour.

This infuses the sugar with a subtle floral note.

When blending the ingredients, I make sure the lavender is evenly distributed for a perfect floral hint in every bite. 😊

Can anyone suggest the most fail-proof way to infuse lemon into biscuit recipes?

Freshly grated lemon zest is my go-to choice! It provides a bright flavor without bitterness.

Sometimes, I even mix the zest with a little sugar, creating a fragrant lemon sugar.

This gets folded into the dough for maximum taste.

What’s the ultimate guide for making the crispiest lavender cookies that’ll wow my guests?

For crispy goodies, bake at a slightly lower temperature for a bit longer.

This dries out the cookies for that snap. Spreading the dough thin helps too.

Keep an eye out so they don’t over-brown!
