1. Break flowers.
2. Mix in flower heads with sugar - a mortar and pescle is great for this.
3. Blend in the butter - we do this by hand.
4. Then add the flour and mix in well.
5. Roll into small balls and press down with your thumb. For extra crunch, top them with more sugar.
6. Place on tray lined with baking paper – I use a brown paper bag I’ve opened - and bake in moderate oven for 10–12 minutes until colour has changed slightly. Pop them onto a cooling rack.
* A moderate oven is usually 180 degrees C/356 F for an oven which is not fan forced.
160 degrees C/320 F in a fan forced oven.
