7/17/2012 1 Comment Lavender Tea Bread![]() I love lavender!... I grow it, I buy natural products that contain it and have taken classes about the flower. I was thrilled to see my local co-op, Outpost, had a recipe in their magazine, Graze using it. I gave it a shot for a party and it got rave reviews. It's very tender, cake like. I served it with a peach butter to kick it up a notch. Lady Cotswald's Lavender Tea Bread
from Outpost Co-op's Graze Magazine, Milwaukee, WI Makes 1 large loaf 3/4 Cup Milk 2 Tablespoons dried lavender flowers, finely chopped (or 3 Tablespoons fresh flowers, chopped) 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour 1 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder 1/4 Teaspoon Salt 6 Tablespoons Butter, softened 1 Cup Sugar 2 Large Eggs 1.

Jen's Kitchen...is the smallest kitchen ever. We used to watch those decorating shows that said they were doing small kitchens and then could see that 4 of my kitchens would fit in their "small kitchens". Archives
