    Categories: Cookies
    Yield: 1 Batch

    6 oz Unsalted butter (175 g);
    -softened, plus extra for
    -greasing
    3 oz Icing sugar (100 g)
    1 tb Dried lavender tips; to
    -taste
    3 oz Corn flour (100 g)
    7 oz Plain flour (200 g)
    2 tb Caster sugar (optional)

    For the shortbread, set the oven temperature to 180°C/160°C Fan/
    Gas 4. Grease a 30x20 cm / 12x8" baking tin with butter.

    Beat the butter and icing sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy,
    using an electric whisk. Fold in the lavender, corn flour, and plain
    flour until the mixture comes together as a firm dough.

    Press the dough into the prepared baking tin using your fingertips to
    form an even layer of dough about 1 cm / 1/3" thick. Prick the dough
    all over with a fork and sprinkle with the caster sugar, if using.

    Bake the shortbread in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until pale
    golden-brown and cooked through. Set aside to cool in the tin for a
    little while, then break into pieces.
