“I make this tea bread when the lavender is in bloom. Try it with fresh strawberry slices on top.”
INGREDIENTS:
|
3/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh
lavender
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
|
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
|
DIRECTIONS:
| 1. | Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan. |
| 2. | Combine the milk and lavender in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat to a simmer, then remove from heat, and allow to cool slightly. |
| 3. | In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg until the mixture is light and fluffy. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture alternately with the milk and lavender until just blended. Pour into the prepared pan. |
| 4. | Bake for 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a wooden pick inserted into the crown of the loaf comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.
