Method

01
Mix the chopped organic rose petals with the organic Fairtrade caster sugar, then lightly cream with the butter. Sieve the organic flour and mix with the creamed butter/sugar mix to get a soft dough. Chill in fridge for 1 hour.
02
Pre-heat oven to 180°C. Roll out the chilled dough until its about 5mm thick and then cut into shapes - get the kids to help here. Place on a baking sheet or tray and sprinkle with a little Fairtrade caster sugar. Bake for 15 minutes or more, until light golden in colour. Eat when cool or keep in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
03
Alternative: try it with Steenbergs organic lavender instead of the rose petals.
