Remember those small tart candies called "lemon heads"? First tart, then a sweet little ball that melted in your mouth? Re-create these treats with this recipe. The soft frosting is first a punch of lemon, then a relaxed breeze, all the while retaining a gotta-have-another-cupcake texture.
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups confectioners sugar shopping list
- 1/2 cup of butter (1 stick) softened shopping list
- 1/4 cup of milk shopping list
- 1 t vanilla shopping list
- 1 T lemon zest (the rind of a lemon) shopping list
- 2 T lemon juice shopping list
How to make it
- mix the butter, lemon zest and vanilla together, making sure all the lumps are gone.
- add the milk, and quickly cream it into the butter mixture.
- by the 1/2 cup, mix in the sugar.
- once the sugar is all in the bowl, cream on "high" for two minutes. (I use this time to clean up)
- mix in lemon juice.
- spread heartily on cupcakes, and enjoy!
