Kitchen Notes

The lemon glaze can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Gently warm the refrigerated container in hot water to restore the glaze to a drizzling consistency. You can also add a little warm water to thin the glaze if it is too thick.

From the Kitchen of Debbie Hughes:  “For my lemon glaze I combine zest, lemon juice and powdered sugar.  I use a little less than half a package of powdered sugar.”

From the Kitchen of Jennifer Leigh Miller: “I used 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar instead of 4 cups mentioned in the recipe. When I made it according to the recipe, I added more butter and lemon juice and ended up with enough glaze for 3 different batches.”
