Lavender Almond Biscotti

Ingredients

1tbs Culinary grade lavender flower

Lemon zest of one whole lemon

2tsp Baking powder

2 Cups flour

1/3tsp Salt

1/2 Cup sugar

2tsp vanilla

2 Large eggs

1/2 Cup chopped almonds

1/2 Cup butter (melted)

Method

Preheat oven to 325f

Whisk together flour and baking powder

In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, water, sugar lemon zest and the melted butter

Add in remaining ingredients including the lavender ( I like to crush them with a mortar and pestle before adding them but if you enjoy the look/texture of whole lavender go for it!)

Combine the wet mixture with the dry mixture

Place the dough into the fridge for 10/15 minutes, this makes the mixture much easier to work with

After cooling scrape the dough onto a floured surface and shape into two vaguely oval loaves, place loaves on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes

Once baked remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes

Slice loaves into 1/2 inch cookies like pictured

Bake or air fry at the 350f for 15 minutes
