Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon organic lavender “dust” (buds ground down to a fine grit and sifted into sugar)
- 1 teaspoon plus 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted cold butter, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey
Tools
- Oven (not air fryer tested yet)
- Food processor
- Spatula
- 8″ or 9” pan (square or round)
Steps
- Heat oven to 325 degrees.
- Ideally in a food processor, otherwise in a bowl: Mix together all the dry ingredients: flower, sugar + lavender blend, and salt. Then add cold butter in slices, honey and use the “pulse” button to blend so the fine crumbs start evening out. Stop there! This is a lumpy look.
- Move the dough to the pan and use the spatula to press evenly into the pan.
- Help air escape by pricking the surface every inch with a fork or use a tiny heart cookie cutter to press shapes in the top (they’ll mostly disappear in cooking but it’s the thought that counts right?)
- Bake, depending on the pan size: 35-40 min for 9 inches, 45-50 for 8 inches.
- When it’s golden brown on top, it’s done! Cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes.
- Cut into squares while still warm.
