How to Make It
- Gather your ingredients: raw honey (2 tbsp, for drizzle), fresh culinary lavender (1 tsp flowers), unsalted butter, powdered sugar, flour, and the rest.
- Prep your homestead ingredients — wash, chop, and measure: raw honey (2 tbsp, for drizzle), fresh culinary lavender (1 tsp flowers).
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before slicing and baking — shortbread spreads dramatically if baked straight from mixing. Cold butter is what makes them hold their shape and stay tender.
- Cook for approximately 40 min. Adjust to taste and serve 24 portions.
- Plate, enjoy, and share with your household!
