Steps:
- 1. Crush the vanilla wafers using a food processor or sealable plastic bag and rolling pen.
- 2. Pour into a large bowl. Add the butter, lemonade concentrate, 2/3 of the powdered sugar, lemon zest and the pecans. Mix thoroughly using your hands. Reserve the remaining powdered sugar to roll the lemon bites in.
- 3. Roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter and roll in remaining powdered sugar and lay them out on waxed paper. Let them sit out for @ 1 hour and then roll them again in powdered sugar.
- 4. Store in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons: Freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor for these lemon bites.
- Don't over-mix the batter: Over-mixing the batter can make the lemon bites tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps prevent the lemon bites from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the lemon bites until they are just set: Over-baking the lemon bites will make them dry. Bake them until they are just set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the lemon bites cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
These lemon bites are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer a classic lemon flavor or something a little more tangy, these lemon bites are sure to please.
