Mini Lemon Drop Cakes #cake

Don’t worry, even though they are from scratch, lemon drops are easy. You start off by bringing butter and water to a boil, and pouring them over your dry ingredients. Next you add your sour cream, egg, lemon juice, and zest.

After beating everything till smooth, you add the batter to your prepared mini muffin tins. I used two 24-cup pans. I like to use my mini cookie scoop to fill the cups. So handy!

Fresh lemon zest is the secret to incredible lemon flavor, so don’t leave it out. If you love lemons, you are really in for a treat!
