Step-by-Step Instructions for Lavender Biscuits
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Grind sugar with dried culinary lavender in a food processor until finely processed.
- In a large bowl, whisk all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
- Add prepared lavender sugar and remaining sugar to the dry ingredients; mix well.
- Cut in cold, diced butter into the flour mixture until it resembles pea-sized crumbs.
- Gently stir in the cold buttermilk until just combined; avoid over-mixing.
- Transfer dough to a floured surface and pat it to 1 inch thick; cut biscuits without twisting.
- Chill cut biscuits in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Brush the tops with milk and sprinkle coarse sugar before baking, if desired.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until risen and golden; cool slightly before serving.
