These have a really subtle but pleasant flavour. Highly recommended if in need of chilling out. I used vanilla sugar instead of sugar and vanilla extract.
1tbsp Dried Camomile Flowers finely chopped
225g butter
140g Sugar
1egg yolk
280g Flour
Method:
1. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. Stir in the flowers then beat in the egg yolk.
3. Add the flour and mix until a dough forms. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge
4. Roll out on a floured surface. Cut out using a cookie cutter.
5. Bake for 10mins at 190c
Alternatives:
Try using a tablespoonful of limeflowers or elderflowers
They look lovely. Where would I get the flowers?
ReplyDeleteHi Orlaith sorry about the delay getting back to you. Dried Camomile can be sourced from health food shops or from camomile tea bags cut open. If you have camomile growing in your garden you can dry it on the stem by hanging it in bunches or I'd imagine that fresh camomile would be good too!
