Ingredients

  • 300 gflour
  • 130 gunsalted butter at room temperature
  • 70 gsalted butter at room temperature
  • 100 gsugar
  • 1 tspacacia honey (or other honey)
  • 1 1/2 tsplavender flowers

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, cream together the two butters and the sugar.
  2. Add the honey, lavender flowers and flour.
  3. Mix by hand until you get a smooth ball.
  4. Work with your hands to obtain a “sausage” of dough.
  5. Wrap in transparent paper. And refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  6. When you want to make the shortbreads, preheat the oven to 150°C (Gas Mark 5).
  7. Cut into 1cm thick pieces.
  8. Place these sections on baking paper on a baking sheet
  9. Bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes - the shortbreads should cook without browning too much.
  10. Allow to cool before enjoying.

NB: Uncooked dough in the form of sausage can be kept for 1 week in the refrigerator.

Home tips

  • Make the shortbread a little thick so that it is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
  • The dough can be used for a delicious apricot crumble – to make an apricot compote with apricots and honey – once ready, place in a baking dish and sprinkle with the crumbled shortbread dough. Serve with vanilla ice cream or double cream.
