In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and butter; mix into a crumbly mixture. Stir in the petals and sugar, then mix with the milk and rose water to form a soft dough (if it becomes sticky, add a little more flour). Do not overknead, or it will become tough! Roll out the dough on a floured surface (about 1 cm thick) and cut out circles using a biscuit cutter (or a large glass). Place the circles on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake at 220°C for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Serve with rose petal jelly, fruit spread, or simply butter. For dessert, top with whipped strawberry cream or curd cheese, for example. Tips: This recipe can also be made with lavender blossoms, violets, or natural herbs. If using herbs, omit the sugar and increase the salt slightly.
