For those who requested me for the one ingredient that I at all times have on deck, my reply is nearly at all times lemons. Like many, I exploit them for each day cooking—in vinaigrettes, to squeeze over salmon, and to therapeutic massage kale earlier than including to salads. However extra importantly, I prefer to preserve them round for after I’m baking. I will usually add a squeeze of lemon juice to exploit relatively than shopping for buttermilk, rub zest into sugar for further taste, or make a fast lemon curd if I can discover some option to match it into the recipe.
With that being mentioned, after I resolve I wish to bake one thing heavy on lemon taste, the very first thing my thoughts jumps to is, you guessed it, lemon squares.

And should you simply need a easy loaf, you’ll be able to at all times cease after coating it in sugar.
It’s not a shock that these Lemon Possets have 189 opinions. It’s a really low-risk-high-reward recipe, and by that I imply it’s extraordinarily straightforward. It solely has three substances, requires nearly no lively cooking time, all whereas being totally irresistible. Primarily, it’s a fuss-free lemon custard that doesn’t require any egg-tempering or exact temperature controls. Ten out of ten, would advocate.
This one additionally has raving opinions. It’s a easy recipe made with bitter cream for further tenderness, and the baked muffins get completed off with a easy lemon glaze. What’s to not love?
When somebody makes you crepes within the morning, you already know it’s going to be a very good day.
