How to Make Lemon Blossoms Paula Deen

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon zest and lemon extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the lemon juice.
  7. Fill the mini muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Add more lemon juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
  11. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
