Servings: 12 brownies
Equipment
Ingredients
For the brownies
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- zest of 1 large lemon
- 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the glaze
- 1 ¼ cups sifted powdered sugar
- 2 - 3 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray or butter an 8x8-inch baking pan.
- Using an electric hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs, one at a time. Mix in the lemon juice and zest. (Note: the batter may look curdled at this point, but that's normal.)
- Stir in the salt and flour with a rubber spatula, stirring just until everything is well combined - don't overmix!
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or just until the center is set.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, mix the powdered sugar and enough lemon juice in a small bowl to make a thick but pourable glaze. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the completely cooled brownies.
- Allow the glaze to set before slicing.
Notes
- A 9x9-inch pan will yield slightly thinner brownies.
- If you prefer, you can line your pan with parchment paper to make it easier to remove your brownies when they’re done.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
- To freeze these brownies, tightly wrap the brownies or store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
