Buttercup, Buttercup, Buttercup!! A few years back there was a saying that had become popular, what was it? Oh yes, “Suck it up, Buttercup!”

Have you ever found yourself in a conversation where someone is going on and on and ON, about something mundane and ridiculous and you just want to say it? What if we all said what we were thinking in those moments… let it sink in there for a moment. Oh my, now what if you are on the receiving end of it?

Perspective… always there to show us the path.

Well, these Buttercup Lemon Cakes have nothing to do with that!

We are all knee-deep in summer here and in summer we embrace the LEMONS!

I literally walk around the house asking everyone to smell the batter. I even asked my one-year-old to smell the lemony yumminess. She did it and smiled all big! The batter is intoxicating. If you are a foodie you will understand exactly what I mean.

These buttercups are moist and fluffy on the inside and the crust has a bit of a crunch to it. A delicious treat that is not too sweet but perfect for brunch or after a meal.

I implore you to embrace the lemon in summer and try these Lemon Buttercups! They are truly divine!

Grate your cold butter into the batter. That’s it!
