Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes?
Here's how...
*Lemon cake mix(made according to box)
I prefer Duncan Hines!!!
*Lemon zest(1/2 tsp. and a few squeezes of real juice
~ add to cake mix
*Strawberry preserves(preferably home canned)
We canned delicious homemade strawberry jam! It makes a world of difference!
*Pie Crumbles(flour, sugar, melted butter~mix)
Place a scoop of batter in cupcake liner, spoonful of preserves, another scoop of batter to cover, then...
Start with butter, margarine, or even shortening and place a few table spoons in a bowl, add equal amounts of sugar and flour a little at a time. Mix and smash with a fork as you go, adding more dry ingredients if needed, until you get crumbles. I like to add a little cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor. You can use melted butter or cold. Taste test for desired sweetness. There aren't really exact measurements here.
Every good home baker knows it's a pinch of this, a dash of that, etc.
