✨🌸MC's Ostara Lavender Honey Glaze Bread🌸✨

Today 03/20/2019 is Ostara for many people(Mabon for the other Hemisphere). This means me and several other witches are celebrating the Spring Equinox and most do this by baking! I combined two recipes and made my own adjustments based on my knowledge of how strong lavender can be.  Most of the time Lavender Bread has a Lemon Zest Icing, but I didn’t have the proper items to make that so… a Honey Glaze! It makes a lot of sense since Lavender is a plant you can plant for Bees! Let’s Get Started!

Bread

  • ¾      cup milk
  • 1      tablespoons of dried lavender
  • 6      tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1      cup white sugar
  • 2      eggs
  • 2      cups all-purpose flour
  • 1      1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼      teaspoon salt
  • 2      drops of Vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Combine the milk and lavender in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat to a simmer, then remove from heat, and allow to cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
  4. Beat in the egg until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  5. Slowly Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Stir the dry ingredients into the sugar, butter egg mixture slowly. After adding a little of the dry add in a bit of the milk. Do this until all of it is gone from both(dry and milk/lavender). Blend evenly.
  7. Pour into the prepared oiled/floured pan. Spread it out evenly in the pan
  8. Bake for 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a wooden pick inserted into the crown of the loaf comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the Fridge or on a cooling rack if you have the time :)

Glaze

  • 1/3      cup honey
  • ¼      cup light-brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter
  • 1      teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Bring honey, brown sugar, and butter to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  2. Add vanilla, and remove from heat. Let cool for 1 minute.

Strawberries & Cream Cobbler

Mmm. Strawberries and cream. There’s nothing better. Hence the cake. And now the cobbler. 

Yes, I realize that many of you are currently living in a season where it is difficult to buy good strawberries. In that case, just salivate over this amazing dessert for the next two or three months. It’s worth it.

Strawberries & Cream Cobbler (printable) serves 4-6

Ingredients

For the Strawberries and Cream Filling 6 cups (1200 g) strawberries 6 tablespoons sugar, divided 2 tablespoons flour 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, cut into small cubes 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

For the Biscuit Topping ¾ cup (90 g) all-purpose flour ¾ teaspoon baking powder ¼ teaspoon baking soda ¼ teaspoon salt 5 teaspoons sugar, divided 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces ½ cup (120 mL) buttermilk

Directions

Wash and cut the strawberries into halves and combine with 4 tablespoons of the sugar, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla in a 9- or 10-inch cast iron skillet. Stir to coat, then let sit until the strawberries have started to release their juices, about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400 F/ 205 C.

In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese and the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar until smooth. Beat in the cream, 1 tablespoon at a time. Drop the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry mixture by tablespoons. Use a spoon or spatula to try to spread the cream cheese mixture into a thin layer over the top of the strawberries.

In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 3 teaspoons of the sugar. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or a fork until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add in the buttermilk and stir just until moistened - do not overmix. Add more buttermilk if the mixture is too dry. Drop rounded tablespoons of the topping over the strawberries and cream mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar over the top.

Bake until the fruit is tender and bubbling, about 25 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

start practicing self care by acting on your needs the moment you feel them. if you’re hungry, eat something. if you’re tired, take a nap. if you’re unfocused, take a break. one of the most consistent and respectful ways to take proper care of yourself is by listening to your body.

It kind of breaks my heart when people are surprised by kindness. Puts into perspective how often they’re treated poorly by others.
