Little Lemon Drops are delicious bite-sized treats that start with a cake mix – they are the perfect treat to take to your next party!
Little Lemon Drops are absolutely amazing and everyone will love you for making and sharing them! I took these to a barbecue and they were devoured in about 5 minutes….long before the meat even started cooking! Everyone was exclaiming about how amazing they were and I was thrilled because this recipe is so easy and it makes about 75 little cupcakes so it’s perfect for large gatherings. Although, my husband ate about a dozen himself before we even left the house so 75 of them doesn’t actually go as far as you’d think!
INGREDIENTS:
- Little Lemon Drops:
- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 1 pkg 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups sour cream I actually didn’t have quite enough sour cream so I used half sour cream/half vanilla yogurt and it worked great!
- 1/2 cup milk
- Lemon Glaze:
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tsp grated lemon zest I just used the zest from one lemon
- 2 Tbs. unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice I got exactly this amount from squeezing one large lemon
- 1/4 cup hot water
DIRECTIONS:
- Little Lemon Drops:
- Preheat the oven to 325.
- Coat mini muffin tins with cooking spray. (I used almost 3 full pans of 24).
- Beat the ingredients in a large bowl with an electric mixer for several minutes until blended and smooth. Fill each muffin hole about 1/2 full. I used a small cookie scoop and it worked perfectly! Bake for about 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the pan on a wire rack for about 2 minutes and then turn the muffin pan over on a wire rack so that all the muffins are upside down.
- Cool completely and once all the batter is cooked, you can make the glaze.
- Lemon Glaze:
- Place the wire racks over waxed paper.
- Beat the glaze ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Dip muffins in glaze to coat the bottoms (which are now the tops!) and the sides and let the excess drip off back into the bowl.
- Place each lemon drop back on the wire racks until the glaze is set.
- Make sure to eat a few before placing them out for others or you’ll never get to try one! Enjoy!
