Ingredients

Scale

Batter

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Whisk together the butter and sugar until the mixture is creamy and smooth, ensuring the sugar is well incorporated into the butter for a rich base.
  2. Add Lemon and Eggs: Gradually whisk in the eggs, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until fully combined, creating a bright and flavorful batter.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth and evenly blended without overmixing.
  4. Bake the Brownies: Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish thoroughly. Pour the batter into the dish and distribute it evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Prepare the Glaze: While the brownies are still warm, combine the powdered sugar with lemon zest and fresh lemon juice in a bowl. Adjust the lemon juice quantity if a thinner glaze is desired.
  6. Glaze and Cool: Pour the lemon glaze evenly over the hot brownies to allow it to set as the dessert cools completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before whisking for easier blending.
  • Adjust the lemon juice in the glaze to your preferred tartness and consistency.
  • Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor impact.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to extend freshness.
  • To prevent sticking, you can line the baking dish with parchment paper instead of just greasing.
