lavendar lemon bars by RITA R
Submitted by MARK B in honor of a friend Rita Roberts.
Ingredients:
Depending on the size you want to make, mix these
ingredients per box.
1 Krustez Lemon Bar mix
(See ingredients on box. I think all it calls for is 3 eggs.)
Dried Lavender Buds
Lavender Oil (Buena Vista)
They ship out of state. The website is www.lavenderlakefarms.com
If you do not see it on the site, send an e-mail to rhonda@lavenderlakefarms.com
I have made about 12-15 batches of these with 1 lbs of buds and have barley
and still have lots of oil.
Purple Sugar Sprinkles
(Get these at a local Confectionary store, where they sell cake decorating supplies)
Mix ingredients per box.
Add 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of dried lavender buds per box of mix.
Add 3 drops of lavender oil.
(This is powerful stuff so it is best to use an eyedropper)
Bake per instructions. Remove from oven and sprinkle the Purple Sugar Sprinkles liberally.
Let cool, eat, share with friends.
The buds are for looks, it is the oil that give it the hint of flavor when eating.
