👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a mini muffin pan with non-stick spray or butter and flour.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
3. Heat wet base: In a saucepan, melt butter and add water. Bring to a gentle boil, then pour over dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
4. Add flavor: Stir in sour cream, egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Beat until smooth.
5. Bake: Scoop batter into mini muffin cups (about 1 tbsp each). Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and springy. Cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
6. Make the glaze: Whisk all glaze ingredients until smooth. Microwave for 10 seconds to thin it slightly.
7. Dip and set: Dip each cake top-side down into the glaze, let excess drip off, then flip and place on rack. Let glaze harden before serving.
