- 1 stick butter or margarine
- 1 c. sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 c. self-rising flour
- 1⁄2 tsp. vanilla or orange extract
Glaze
- 2 oranges
- 2 lemons or 1 T. frozen lemon juice
- 1 1⁄2 lbs 10 X sugar
Instructions: Combine the butter and sugar and beat until smooth; add the eggs, one at a time. Fold in the flour; add the vanilla. Bake in greased miniature muffin tins 10 to 12 minutes in a 350 degree oven. For the glaze: Mix together the juice and grated rind from the oranges and lemons. Add the 10 X sugar and mix thoroughly.

This is a very old recipe but also very good.
