   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

   In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

   Stir in the fresh lemon juice and dried lavender to the batter until evenly distributed.
