My husband emailed the link to this recipe while I was working. A quick glance at the link, I thought he really wanted me to bake him cupcakes. When I got home that night, I pulled up the link and went to the website and realized what it really was. I attempted this two ways.

1-1/2 teaspoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon Kosher salt
