I can't tell you how Nigella I felt making these. OK, in my childhood they were called fairycakes, but like everything nowadays they've been rebranded.

And not a Nigella recipe, a Hummingbird Cafe recipe, except I didn't think they're soaking the lavender in milk would work, so I heated it slightly to infuse properly to get the flavour.

Lavender courtesy of J's garden. Cakes eaten by F, W, J & E on their trip from NY. Where, of course, cupcakes are traditional fayre. Oh, the land of the free.
