Notes
These biscuits are incredibly versatile. I prefer using fresh, organic lavender if possible for a stronger flavor. 🌿 If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour.
Adjust the Lavender Amount: Depending on your preference. A pinch more or less can change the flavor profile subtly, making it either bold or mild.
Serve warm with lemon curd or honey for extra sweetness. 🍯
