Pop the butter and sugar in your mixing bowl and mix until well combined and creamy (If you have a food processor you could use this instead)
Add the sieved flour and mix together to create breadcrumbs, add in a couple of drops of elderflower flavouring.
Tip mixture onto surface and work it together kneading it into a dough. Once it is formed wrap in cling film and leave to chill for 20 minutes. Get your oven ready preheating it to 200 °C
Roll the dough out on to a lightly floured surface to the thickness of a £1 coin, using your cutter cut your biscuits and pop on the lined baking tray.
Pop in the oven for 7 minutes in the middle shelf before removing and brushing the top with egg white using a pastry brush, You can then place your edible flowers on top, sprinkle some extra caster sugar and cook for another 6 minutes or until lightly golden.
Allow the biscuits to cool.
