About Us
Violas are such pretty little flowers and are a great addition to any pot or border in the coming seasons. But they are not just great in the garden, but can be used in the kitchen too!
Violas are edible and can be used in a number of different and exciting ways. These including crystallising them to use on the top of cakes and desserts, decorating biscuits and freezing them in ice cubes. These are all really pretty ways to bring colour and excitement to an afternoon tea or dinner party!
Our favourite way to use Violas in our cooking is to decorate shortbread biscuits with them. Not only are these cute little biscuits stunning but they are really tasty too!
Prepare your violas before eating: Carefully pick the viola flower from the plant. Shake the flowers to remove any insects or dirt. Remove the stem. Wash the flowers very carefully using cold water in a spray and a strainer. Spread out on a paper towel and allow to air dry.
For the biscuits:
4oz butter
2oz caster sugar
6oz plain flour
For the Violas:
handful of viola flowers
caster sugar
1 x egg white lightly whisked
