Lemon Tea Cakes Recipe

Prep: 10 min. Bake: 15 min. + cooling

Yield: 30 Servings

10 15 25

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
TOPPING:
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon juice and peel. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture just until moistened. Fill greased or paper-lined mini-muffin cups two-thirds full. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over tops.
Bake at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until the top springs back when touched lightly. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.
