Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients.

Step 2

First, prepare the lavender sugar. To do this, grind the lavender in a coffee grinder or a small blender bowl.

Step 3

Then transfer the lavender and 1/3 of the sugar into a large blender bowl and mix them for 15–20 seconds. After that, combine the mixture with the remaining sugar and blend.

Step 4

Mix the melted butter, 150 grams of lavender sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.

Step 5

Add 375 grams of flour and mix until the dough comes together in clumps.

Step 6

Spread the dough evenly into a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 355°F for 25–30 minutes.

Step 7

Zest two lemons and squeeze the juice from all the lemons — you should have 300 ml.

Step 8

Beat the eggs with lemon juice, zest, and the remaining lavender sugar.

Step 9

Add the remaining sifted flour and mix well.

Step 10

Pour the filling over the hot crust and return the pan to the oven, reducing the temperature to 320°F, and bake for an additional 25–30 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the finished pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Then refrigerate for 2 hours, and only after that can you slice it.

Step 12

Cut the pie into thin rectangular pastries, dust with powdered sugar, and serve, optionally garnished with lavender buds.
