[CAKE-RECIPE] Re: vanilla sugar
--- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You can also give an essence to sugar using lemon, orange, or lime zest. Grate the zest finely (for best results, use a fine microplane) directly into the sugar, cover and do not disturb for a couple of weeks. Theresa Hi, Theresa. Another essence that can be blended with sugar as well as used separately in many baking and cooking projects is that of Lavender. Using their blossoms they can be used in breads, cheesecakes, quiches, fruit bowls and even in a liqueur. Here are two recipes, courtesy of a collection by the Herb Lyceum at Gilson's in Groton, MA. that I thought I would share. I hope everyone had a nice Easter and Passover. Bob Lavender Mint Cookies 1/2 cup shortening 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened 3/4 cup sugar 1 egg 1/4 cup honey 1 T lemon juice 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour 8 lavender blossoms, chopped finely 1 tsp. baking soda 2 T mint, chopped 1/2 tsp. salt Lavender Sugar: 1 cup sugar 6 lavender blossoms -put these in a blender together until fine In a mixing bowl, cream shortening, butter and sugar. Beat in egg, honey, and lemon juice. Combine dry ingredients, add to creamed mixture. Roll balls of dough in lavender sugar. Place 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Lavender Honey 1 cup (335g) light colored, unflavored honey 1/4 cup (60ml) chopped fresh lavender blossoms Warm but do not boil honey over low heat and stir in lavender blossoms. Cool completely and pour into an airtight glass jar. Let the mixture steep in a cool, dark place for at least 5 days. To use, pour an appropriate amount of the honey into a strainer placed over a small bowl and let stand. Discard the solids left in the strainer. *Be sure not to use wild honey or blended honeythese honeys tend to have a strong taste that could overpower the lavender. Yahoo!
