Peaches drizzled with honey-and-lavender custard

In a small saucepan over a medium heat, gently heat the milk, until lukewarm. Whisk together the sugar and egg yolks, then gently whisk into the milk.

Heat, until the mixture starts to thicken and coats the back of a wooden spoon – take care not to boil. Remove from the heat and add the honey and lavender petals.

Place the peaches in hot water for a few minutes, to loosen the skins. Submerge in cold water and remove the skins.

Place a biscuit on each plate, top with a peach and drizzle with the honey-and-lavender custard.
