Lavender Biscuits
*Makes 1 – 2 dozen, depending on size chosen.*
Items needed:
- 2 microwave-safe bowls
- Teaspoon
- 1/4 cup – measuring cup
- Beater
- 1 Cookie pan for large biscuits OR 2 Cookie pans for small biscuits
- Baking spray
Ingredients needed:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons dried, crushed lavender
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 stick butter
- 3/4 cups sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Steps:
- Lightly spray the cookie pan with baking spray, and set it aside while you’re combining ingredients.
- Combine the dry ingredients; including flour, baking soda, salt, lavender, cinnamon, and nutmeg, into one bowl and mix them well with the beater.
- Put the stick of butter in a separate, microwavable bowl. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until the butter is soft enough to mix.
- Add the sugar to the butter, and mix for about 5 minutes, until a pasty texture forms.
- Add the egg and vanilla to the sugar and butter paste, and mix well.
- Once both bowls are mixed well, you’re ready to combine them. Add 1/4 cup of dry ingredients to the wet ingredients bowl, and slowly mix until you can no longer see dry ingredients. Continue adding 1/4 cup of dry ingredients to the mix, until all ingredients are combined.
- Preheat oven to 350*.
- While waiting for the oven to heat, form the dough into separate dough balls, and place evenly on cookie pan(s). An overflowing teaspoon of dough will make a large biscuit. A teaspoon of dough will make a smaller biscuit.
- Once the oven has reached 350*, the pan(s) will go in for approximately 10 minutes.
- It is important to continue checking on the baking process of the biscuits. I like to check around 5 minutes, 8 minutes, and then 10 minutes. A good way to tell if the biscuits are finished is to stick a toothpick in them. If nothing from the inside of the biscuits sticks to the toothpick, the biscuits are finished.
- The goal is a nice golden bottom, and soft biscuits.
- Allow biscuits to cool, then eat and enjoy!
