Quick and Easy Lavender Biscuits

Quick and Easy Lavender Biscuits

These biscuits are absolutely heavenly, especially when they’re fresh out the oven. I’d never had fresh lavender in biscuits but it works sooo well and tastes like summer. These vegan treats were baked by the lovely Mary when I stayed in Gypsy Rose (her gypsy caravan) in The Forest of Dean.

We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.

Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding. If you already support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are really making a difference!
