Lavender Tea Biscuits
Inspired by lavender scones enjoyed on a trip I took to the Hawaiian upcountry many years ago, these lavender almond tea biscuits are a favorite of mine. I’ve made them for everything from bridal showers to birthday parties and everyone always loves them. Look for edible dried lavender at natural food stores or specialty gourmet shops.
Lavender Tea Biscuits
Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 190kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1½ teaspoons dried lavender flowers - finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
- Jam and/or butter - for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, lavender, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, honey, and lemon zest. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Continue to stir until a thick dough forms. The dough will be somewhat sticky.
- On a sheet of parchment paper, pat the dough into a 6-inch diameter disk, about ½-inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges. Place the wedges 2 inches apart on the lined baking sheet. Bake for about 12 minutes, until golden brown and biscuits spring back lightly when touched. Cool completely before serving with jam and butter, if desired. Store in an airtight container.
