Lemon Drop Mini Cakes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour

• 1 cup sugar

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp baking salt

• 1/2 cup butter

• 1/2 cup water

• 1/4 cup sour cream

• 1 egg

• 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest

• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Glaze:

• 1.5 cups powdered sugar

• 1 tsp fresh lemon zest

• 1 tbsp melted butter

• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

• 1 tsp milk

Instructions

• Preheat oven. Spray mini muffin pans with non-stick spray; set aside.

• Whisk together dry ingredients; set aside.

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add water and bring to a boil.

• Pour hot mixture over dry ingredients and beat with a hand beater until barely blended.

• Beat in the sour cream, egg, zest, and lemon juice until smooth.

• Scoop batter into muffin pans. Bake at 325 for about 12 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then turn onto cooling racks. Cool completely before glazing.
