Charlie's Lavender Shortbread

Ingredients:

125g/4oz butter

55g/2oz caster sugar

180g/6oz plain flour

1/4 tsp dried lavender

Method:

1. Heat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius/gas 5.

2. Beat the butter and sugar together until smooth (I added the lavender to the sugar and mixed before combining with the butter).

3. Stir in the flour until it forms a smooth dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll out until 1/2 inch thick.

4. Cut into rounds or fingers and place on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. Sprinkle with icing sugar and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.

5. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until pale golden-brown. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.
