    Melt-Away Butter Cakes


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 c softened butter
    1 1/2 c sugar
    1 egg, beaten
    1/4 ts salt
    1 ts grated lemon rind
    1 ts lemon extract
    2 1/2 c sifted unbleached flour

    Recipe



    Cream the butter with the sugar. Add all but 1 T of the egg, salt
    lemon rind and extract. Work in the sifted flour a few tablespoons
    at a time until thoroughly blended. Turn dough out onto a lightly
    floured surface and knead for just a few minutes. Pat dough out flat
    in an 8 inch round greased baking pan. Brush with reserved tablespoon
    of beaten egg. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until
    golden. Allow cake to cool 30 minutes. Remove from pan and cut into
    serving pieces. Cake will harden as it cools. Store in airtight
    container. Keeps well for a long time. Variation: Substitute 1/2 t
    ground ginger & 2 T minced crystalized ginger for lemon extract &
    rind. From "The Portable Feast" by Diane D. MacMillan, 101
    Productions.
