Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 24 mini muffin tins.
Step 2
Beat together butter and sugars until creamy.
Step 3
Beat in egg and vanilla until well mixed.
Step 4
Whisk dry ingredients together and beat into batter alternately with oil until a smooth dough is formed.
Step 5
Wrap in saran wrap and chill for 15 minutes.
Step 6
Scoop out about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough at a time, roll into a ball, place in mini-muffin tin, and press down in the center with your thumb until a well is formed with the dough being uniform around the edges. When they bake they may overfill the tins a little but they have a pretty flower like effect.
Step 7
Bake for about 10 minutes, until dough is slightly firm but not finished baking.
Step 8
Remove from oven, and working quickly, press a rounded 1/2 teaspoon into the centers of each tin to make a well again.
Step 9
Put back into oven and bake for about another 5 minutes until firm and golden.
Step 10
Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then remove to cooling rack. You can try to shape them a little more now.
Step 11
Cool completely before filling. You can also freeze them once cooled for future filling. Defrost before filling if you do.
Step 12
Fill with lemon curd. Press a fresh raspberry into the top of the lemon curd, if desired. Dust with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream. Enjoy!
