🍋 Lemon and Lavender: The Perfect Pair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These lemon bars are extra special because they have a floral twist: they’re made with lavender sugar<\/a> in both the shortbread crust and the lemon filling. The lavender<\/a> gives the bars a light, fresh floral taste that pairs perfectly with the bright flavor of lemons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know not everyone will be immediately excited about adding lavender to such a classic, timeless recipe. Why mess with perfection? But if you’ll give me a moment, I think you’ll be persuaded to give them a try, because the lavender doesn’t detract<\/em> from the lemon bars – it enhances<\/em> them in the best way possible. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

🪻 What’s Lavender Sugar?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Lavender sugar” may sound fancy, but it’s literally something you whiz up in the food processor right before you make the lemon bars. It’s made with dried lavender and granulated sugar, for a total cost of 50 cents and a time commitment of 20 seconds (those are estimates, but you get the idea.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lavender sugar is such <\/em>a lovely ingredient. It’s very aromatic, with a woodsy, vanilla fragrance and a mildly herbal taste. It’s a great pantry item because it keeps for ages, and it’s a wonderful addition to hot drinks, lemonade, or cookie recipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this recipe calls for just the amount of lavender sugar you’ll need, you can always make more and keep it in your cupboard to add to coffee, cakes, or anything else that could use some flower power! Get more info and grab my printable lavender sugar recipe here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
