These Easy Lemon Breakfast Pastries are a great way to embrace spring, even if it doesn’t feel like it in your neighborhood.
Hello Friends! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! We enjoyed our first festival of the season and started to work on our home project list. Those home projects are always around and we are hoping to get started on a project soon. There is just something about the anticipation of summer that makes me want to get started on home projects.
In addition to home projects, my mother and daughter and I also did some fun spring crafting which I will share soon. I love to craft for the season. There is just something about using your creativity to create that is entirely satisfying.
Speaking of embracing the season, we made these easy breakfast pastries recently. They are so easy to make and what is great is that it is easy to put your own spin on them.
These are lemon-flavored and bring a little sunshine to the table. These are best when baked on a parchment-lined paper or on a non-stick cookie sheet.

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°.

In a small bowl mix together cream cheese, lemon juice and sugar.

Fill each dough center with 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture.

I like to ice these with an easy milk and powdered sugar icing. The mixture is 1/4 cup powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk or water. Beat until smooth and drizzle on pastries.
These are also great for Mother’s Day breakfast or brunch. If you are looking for more great spring breakfast ideas, check out:

There’s a bakery up the street that makes Lemon Turnovers and I always think that’s so brilliant! We’ve all had berry ones, but nothing says summer like lemon pastries. YUM.
Spring makes me crave lemons! Those pastries look delicious 🙂
