january daffodils

today just seemed like the day.

rosemary and lemon shortbread
adapted from a sticky affair

one cup plain flour

half teaspoon salt
quarter teaspoon baking powder

zest of two lemons

small handful chopped rosemary

one hundred grams butter

tablespoon melted honey
quarter cup icing sugar

extra caster sugar for dusting

preheat oven to 150C
sift together flour, salt, baking powder, lemon zest and rosemarry. in a seperate bowl mix together softened butter with sugar and honey. slowly add dry to the wet, then begin to knead with your hands. form the dough into a flat disc and refrigerate for 10-20 minutes.
roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper, cut out cookie shapes and place onto lined baking sheet. bake for 18-20 minutes or until soft browned on edges. place on cooling rack and then mow down.

i found some elderflower cordial, mellow yellow.
