85g Butter
40g Sugar
125g Plain Flour
1 tsp Dried Lavender Flowers (if you can’t find any lavender other herbs work well too)

Beat the butter, sugar and lavender together. Stir in the flour. Bring together to form a dough and knead very lightly for a couple of minutes.
Place in a bowl, cover and put into the fridge for about an hour.
Meanwhile make the dessert. Place a small teaspoon of lemon curd into the bottom of 4-5 glasses or ramekins.
Place the rest of the lemon curd into a bowl and mix in the yogurt a little at a time.
Top the glasses/ramekins with the yogurt/lemon curd mix.
Crush the raspberries a little and place on top. Cover and place into the fridge until needed.
Preheat your oven to 170C. Remove the shortbread dough and roll out on a floured surface to about 5mm thick.
Cut into biscuits (your choice of shape) and place on a baking tray lined with a baking mat or parchment paper.
Prick all over with a fork and place into the oven. Cook for 20 minutes. They should be pale, but cooked through. Remove and leave to cool on the tray for 3-4 minutes.
Carefully move to a cooling rack.
Serve each dessert with a couple of shortbreads on the side.
