Method
-
1Preheat the oven to 200°C or 180°C fan-assisted. Lightly grease a Le Creuset 12 Cup Mini Muffin Tray.
-
2Sift the flour, baking powder, caster sugar, and salt into a medium-sized bowl. Add the butter and, using the tips of your fingers, rub the dry ingredients into the cold butter to combine, forming a fine crumb texture.
-
3Beat together the egg, egg yolk, milk, lavender flowers, and lemon zest and mix through. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and using a fork, mix until a dough forms. Don’t overwork.
-
4Lightly flour your work surface and tip the dough out. Lightly bring the dough together and pat it to about 2cm in thickness. Using a sharp knife, cut out 12 portions and place them into the tin. Lightly press down and brush with milk. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
-
5Serve warm with clotted cream or double cream, lemon curd, and a sprinkle of lavender sugar.

6To make the lavender sugar:

7Place the sugar and lavender leaves in a pestle and mortar and bash until bright purple. Do this just before serving, as the colour changes quickly.
