Description
Lemon sugar is simple, versatile little flavored sugar you can use in cookies, cakes, glazes, frostings, and more.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lemons, preferably organic
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
Instructions
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest from the lemons in long strips. Alternatively, you can grate the zest with a Microplane grater.
- Pour the sugar into the bowl of a food processor.
Place the lemon zest in the bowl, and then turn the machine on. Let the machine run until the sugar is well-moistened and the zest is chopped into very fine pieces. 
- Scrape the sugar into a glass jar and store it in the freezer for up to 2 months. To use, swap out 1 tablespoon of plain sugar in a recipe for 1 tablespoon of lemon sugar.
Notes
Change up the flavor: Feel free to use any type of citrus here. Lime, orange, blood orange, grapefruit, or tangerine will all taste great.
