Lemon Sugar Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat butter, sugars and oil until blended. Beat in eggs and extract. Combine flour, baking soda and cream of tartar; stir into butter mixture (dough will be stiff)., Roll into 1-in. balls; place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Press with bottom of a glass dipped in water, then in sugar. Bake 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Steps:

• Using a citrus zester, remove the zest. (Alternatively, using a paring knife or a vegetable peeler, remove the zest; then scrape as much of the bitter white pith off it as possible.) Roughly chop zest; transfer to a food processor, and add 1 cup sugar. Pulse until zest has been finely ground, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer the ground mixture to a medium bowl. Add remaining cup sugar, and toss until evenly mixed.
• Spread the lemon sugar on a baking pan, and let sit at room temperature until dry, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Remove the peel from the lemon in strips with a vegetable peeler (take care not to peel too deeply; leave the pith on the lemon). Put the peel in a container with the sugar, and shake to disperse. Let it sit for at least a full day before using.
