Several recipes I found, I don't wanna list any of my own recipes, because I eventually want to produce a small cookbook with them in it. X3
I WILL post a recipe I have for gingerbread cookies (as soon as I find what my mom did w/ my recipe book). :3 As well as some info on
cookie cutters. Then I'll post some recipes for making onigiri, how to make those lil' squid sausages, and how to make those Japanese cold omelettes (also when I found out what happened to those recipes D: we're redoing my room right now to look Victorian, adding our antique Victorian furniture and such). :3
I'm also trying to find a recipe for how to make Tea Eggs, I found something on Wikipedia listing a vague recipe, and I'm trying to figure out how to make them, if they taste good, I'll ist the recipe I used, if not...well... D:

Gretel's Tea BiscuitsThese bickies (I think you call them cookies in the US) are interesting and different. The lavender flavour is subtle and unusual and they're lovely with tea or coffee. (It's best to use English Lavender for baking....but French is OK) ~Gretel
Lavender Bickies
150 grams butter (2/3 cup)
115 grams (1/2 cup) raw sugar
1 egg beaten
1 Tbsp. dried lavender flowers
170 (1 1/2 cup) grams Self-raising flour
water
Cream butter and sugar, then stir in egg. Mix in lavender flowers and flour. Add a dash of water to make a smooth consistency. Preheat oven to 180*C (375*F). Grease 2 baking trays and drop teaspoon size dobs of the mixture onto them. Top with a sprinkle of the raw sugar. Bake 15 -20 minutes till golden. Makes about 25. (Editor's note-if you can't find raw sugar, try brown sugar).
