Bake these lemony crowd-pleasers for your next gathering--even the simple glaze has a pleasing burst of citrus flavor.

Ingredients

Base

2: cups all-purpose flour

1/2: cup powdered sugar

1: cup butter or margarine, softened

Filling

4: eggs

2: cups granulated sugar

1/4: cup all-purpose flour

1: teaspoon baking powder

1/4: cup lemon juice
