Lemon Blossoms

These are my favorite Paula Dean recipe ever - you can't just eat one! These are great to bring to a party because they can just sit out...don't plan on bringing any home because they always disappear. I've given the recipe to many people, so here are a couple tips to these turning out: spray your mini muffin tin VERY well so they come out easy, and don't fill too full or the tops will spread out and they will be difficult to get out of the pan.

Lemon Blossoms

1 yellow cake mix

1 small box lemon instant pudding

4 eggs

3/4 c. oil

Glaze:

4 c. powdered sugar

1 lemon, juice and zest (no substitutes!)

3 T. oil

4 T. water

Preheat oven to 350. Spray mini muffin tin with cooking spray well. Combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, and oil and blend with mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Fill mini muffin tins about half full of batter - you should get 48 per batch. Bake 12 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack with wax paper underneath. Dip in glaze while warm and let set on cooling rack.

To make glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, zest, oil, and water. Add a little water if necessary to make a thinner glaze consistancy.
