Description
For this wonderful homemade dessert, you will need lavender sugar: simply blend lavender buds with regular sugar. By the way, it can also be used for trendy coffee drinks, such as lavender raffa (you can find the story and recipe for this Russian coffee drink online). Then, the lavender sugar is added to a fairly classic lemon bars recipe. Lemon and lavender are great friends, so give it a try!
Ingredients
- Sugar - 17.6 oz
- Lavender flowers - 4 spoons
- Butter - 11.6 oz
- Vanilla extract - 1 tablespoon
- Salt - ½ spoons
- Wheat Flour - 15.5 oz
- Chicken Egg - 8 pieces
- Lemon - 6 pieces
- Powdered Sugar - to taste
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients.
Step 2
First, prepare the lavender sugar. To do this, grind the lavender in a coffee grinder or a small blender bowl.
Step 3
Then transfer the lavender and 1/3 of the sugar into a large blender bowl and mix them for 15–20 seconds. After that, combine the mixture with the remaining sugar and blend.
Step 4
Mix the melted butter, 150 grams of lavender sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
Step 5
Add 375 grams of flour and mix until the dough comes together in clumps.
Step 6
Spread the dough evenly into a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 25–30 minutes.
Step 7
Zest two lemons and squeeze the juice from all the lemons — you should have 300 ml.
Step 8
Beat the eggs with lemon juice, zest, and the remaining lavender sugar.
Step 9
Add the remaining sifted flour and mix well.
Step 10
Pour the filling over the hot crust and return the pan to the oven, reducing the temperature to 320°F, and bake for an additional 25–30 minutes.
Step 11
Remove the finished pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Then refrigerate for 2 hours, and only after that can you slice it.
Step 12
Cut the pie into thin rectangular pastries, dust with powdered sugar, and serve, optionally garnished with lavender buds.
