step 1
To make the posset, put the cream (600 ml) and sugar (200 g) in a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon zest (3) and juice (75 ml), then divide between 6 ramekins, small glasses or teacups. Leave to cool, then chill for 3 hours until set.
step 2
For the biscuits, beat the butter (150 g), sugar (85 g) and lemon zest (1) with an electric whisk until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk (1) and elderflower cordial (4 tsp) and mix until smooth.
step 3
Add the flour (285 g) and cornflour (1 tbsp), then mix with a spatula or wooden spoon. Use your hands to bring the dough together if needed. Roll the dough between two sheets of greaseproof paper to a 0.5cm‑thick rectangle. Cover with cling film then chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
step 4
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Cut the dough into 12 rectangles and bake for 14 minutes until the edges turn golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
step 5
For the compote, put the blueberries (190 g), sugar (2 tbsp), lemon juice (1/2) and cordial (3 tbsp) in a saucepan. Avoid stirring and leave to simmer for 8-10 minutes until the blueberries are plump and glossy. Leave to cool completely. Spoon the cooled compote over the set possets and serve with the biscuits.
step 5 For the compote, put the blueberries (190 g), sugar (2 tbsp), lemon juice (1/2) and cordial (3 tbsp) in a saucepan. Avoid stirring and leave to simmer for 8-10 minutes until the blueberries are plump and glossy. Leave to cool completely. Spoon the cooled compote over the set possets and serve with the biscuits.
