Lavender Apricot Galette
Fragrant with the purple flower in all possible forms, this Lavender Apricot Galette is a delectable Summer dessert, and a rather easy one to bake, too! Happy Wednesday!
Ingredients (serves 4):
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon Dried Lavender
3 freshly picked just bloomed lavender flowers
a dozen just ripe apricots, rinsed
2 tablespoons Lavender Liqueur
1 heaped tablespoon Lavender Honey (I brought this one from Menton last year!)
415 grams/14.6 ounces Almond Pastry
2 heaped teaspoons Lavender Sugar
In a large, deep skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat.
Once butter is melted, add Dried Lavender and lavender flowers. Cook, 1 minute.
Halve and pit apricots.
When the lavender butter is just foaming, add the apricots, cut-side down. Cook, shaking the skillet over the flame occasionally, about 5 minutes.
Once the apricots are just golden brown on their cut side, deglaze with Lavender Liqueur. Then, drizzle generously with Lavender Honey. Cook until mixture reduces and becomes syrup-y, about 3 to 5 minutes more.
Then, remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
Preheat oven to 200°C/395°F. Line a baking tray with baking paper; set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out Almond Pastry into a large circle, not too thinly. Trim the edges, and gently place Almond Pastry circle onto prepared baking tray.
Arrange apricot halves, cut side up onto the Pastry, from the centre out, into a circle. Fold the edges of the galette, slightly on top of the apricots.
Sprinkle apricots and Pastry alike with Lavender Sugar.
Place in the hot oven, and bake, at 200°C/395°F, 30 to 35 minutes, until pastry is a nice golden brown colour.
Remove from the heat and scatter fresh lavender flowers on top.
Serve Lavender Apricot Galette warm or cooled, with Kir Royal à la Lavande.
Blueberry Galette with Lavender & a Pecan Crust
So you guys @furious-heart-collector asked me a week ago if lavender was good in coffee... now I worked at Starbucks for a year and I can’t stand coffee. This made my knowledge on the subject next to none on how it pairs with the liquid jitters. So I did some googles and found a recipe on a home made Lavender Vanilla Latte!
Ingredients
1/2 cup hot coffee or espresso
1/2 cup milk low fat is perfect (use almond or soy milk for vegan)
1 tsp culinary grade lavender buds
1/2 vanilla bean
1 tsp honey optional
Instructions
Heat the milk, lavender, seeds of the vanilla bean, and honey (if using) either in the microwave or on the stove, just until it comes to a simmer. Let sit for 5 minutes, then strain.
Pour hot coffee into a mug, then top with the hot milk. I like to froth the milk before I add it, but that's your choice.
Garnish with a few lavender buds and enjoy.
And I also found the proportions to lavender infused sugar which is 4-1. 4 parts sugar to one part lavender. You can also do this with vanilla bean!
The article I read about lavender sugar said it would also be great to make a lavender caramel. I’ve never made caramel but as soon as I learn how to make it I will let you know my recipe!
Thank y’all! Happy full moon! 💕💕💕🌕
