¼ cup granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
6 tbsp dairy free butter, very cold
½ cup dairy free milk, very cold
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp dairy free milk, for brushing

For the glaze

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Chef's tip
Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest in a large mixing bowl until evenly combined.
