Delicious Lemon Blossoms Recipe - A French Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
18
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugar

    In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Add Eggs and Lemon

    Beat in the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.

    Fresh lemon juice will enhance the flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help prevent lumps.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the texture light.
  6. Form and Bake

    Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto a greased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
  7. Cool and Dust

    Let the lemon blossoms cool on a wire rack, then dust with powdered sugar if desired.

    Dusting with sugar adds a nice finish.
