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
2 tsp lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
6 tbsp vegan butter, frozen or very cold
½ cup plant-based milk
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract

For brushing

1 tbsp plant-based 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
1 tsp lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

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