Ingredients
- 3 Cup Heritage White Flour
- Zest of one very large or two medium lemons plus the juice
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 Cups sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2/3 Cup buttermilk
- 1/2 Cup sourdough starter, optional
Glaze:
- 1 1/2 Cups organic powdered sugar
- 3 Tbsp buttermilk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- In a small bowl blend flour, zest, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar, on medium, until pale and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in eggs one at a time.
- Add vanilla, and sourdough starter, if using.
- Alternate adding the flour mixture and buttermilk.
- Squeeze in juice from the lemons that were zested.
