PJ's LEMON CURD

I got this recipe from my middle daughter, PJ, when she made them for my open house last year. I had customers offering to pay me for the recipe! I don't even care for lemon, but I am addicted to these!

Yields about 36 shortcakes

SHORTCAKES:

Ingredients

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- In a small bowl, cream the butter.

- Combine flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch, almond extract and vanilla with butter.

- Spray mini-muffin pans with non-stick spray.

- Spoon dough into muffin pans, filling only halfway, and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.

- Let stand for 10 minutes.

- Make small indentations in each shortcake with thumb or large wooden spoon handle (the handle of a pizza cutter works best). Be careful not to press too hard or the shortbread will fall apart. The indentations need to be made while they are still hot.

- Let cool, then gently remove from pans.
