Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
- Prep the Lemons:
- Zest and juice two lemons. Set both aside for the batter and glaze.
- Make the Batter:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until fully blended.
- Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Bake the Brownies:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies moist.
- Cool Completely:
- Let the brownies cool completely in the baking dish before adding the glaze.
- Prepare the Lemon Glaze:
- Sift powdered sugar into a bowl. Whisk together with lemon zest and lemon juice until smooth.
- Glaze the Brownies:
- Spread half the glaze over the cooled brownies using a rubber spatula. Allow it to set slightly (it should remain soft, not hard).
- Repeat with the remaining glaze for a double layer of tangy goodness.
- Cut and Serve:
- Once the glaze has set, cut the brownies into bars and enjoy!
These lemon brownies are a crowd-pleaser with their bright citrus flavor and tender texture. Perfect for spring gatherings, tea parties, or as a sweet pick-me-up! 🍋💕
