Ingredients
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sour cream
1 whole egg
1 Tbsp fresh lemon zest
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Lemon Glaze
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp fresh lemon zest
1 Tbsp melted butter
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp milk
Instructions
Spray mini muffin pans with non-stick spray; set aside.
Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a mixing bowl; 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 till barely blended. Beat in the sour cream, egg, zest, and lemon juice till 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.
Dip lemon drops bottom side down into the glaze. Let excess glass drip off into the bowl, then invert lemon drops top side down onto cooling racks. (Place waxed paper underneath the cooling racks for easier clean up.) Let sit till glaze hardens.
Lemon Glaze
Whisk all glaze ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. Heat for about 10 seconds in the microwave till glaze is very thin.
