Serves: 8-10 biscuits
Ingredients
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 stick cold butter
  • ¾ cup whole milk (or half and half)
  • 1 heaping tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ tsp lavender (cut up as small as possible)
  • Zest of half a lemon
  • 1 egg (to brush on biscuits before baking)
Instructions
  1. Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in electric mixer with paddle attachment.
  2. Dice up the butter (make sure it is cold!).
  3. Add in the butter and mix on low until the butter is in small clumps about the size of peas. Do not over-mix in this step. You don't want it to be smooth.
  4. Add in the milk and mix until incorporated. Again, do not over-mix. Just mix until it looks well blended to keep the biscuits fluffy.
  5. Add in the lavender and lemon if you are using these and lightly stir in.
  6. Refrigerate dough for an hour or two for fluffiest biscuits. Cover in plastic.(optional)
  7. Cut out using cookie cutter or the top of a drinking glass (what I used)
  8. Brush egg on top of the biscuits. This will allow nice golden color to form on top.
  9. Bake for 18 - 20 minutes or until they look golden on top and on edges.
