Cooking Instructions

  1. Soak the rose petals in a bowl of warm water to soften.
  2. In a mixer, cream the butter and icing sugar until light and smooth, then add the rose water.
  3. Drain the rose petals and add them to the mixing bowl.
  4. Combine the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt and add to the butter mixture in 3 stages, mixing at a low speed.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon of cold water, a little at a time, until the dough starts to come together.
  6. Mix in the chopped cranberries and pine nuts at a low speed.
  7. Place the dough onto cling wrap and roll into a log (approximately 2.5 cm in diameter). Place the dough in the fridge for about ½ an hour to firm up and rest.
  8. Slice the dough log into 3-4 mm thick slices and bake at 165 °C for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
