Cuisine: Gluten-Free

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Flour
  • 3/4 Cup Sugar
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/4 Cup Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream

  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice

Glaze

  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • Zest of 1 Lemon
  • 2 to 4 Tablespoons Lemon Juice

Instructions
