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. Whisk the butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the butter and sugar together until the mixture is creamy and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the batter.
  2. Add eggs and lemon: Incorporate the eggs, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest into the butter-sugar mixture. Whisk thoroughly until combined and smooth.
  3. Incorporate dry ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet mixture. Mix gently but thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well blended, avoiding overmixing.
  4. Prepare baking dish and bake: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread the batter evenly inside. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  5. Make the glaze: While the brownies bake, combine powdered sugar, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice in a bowl. Adjust the lemon juice quantity to achieve desired glaze thickness.
  6. Apply glaze and cool: Once brownies are out of the oven and still hot, spread the lemon glaze evenly over the top. Let the brownies cool completely to allow the glaze to set.
  7. Cut and serve: After cooling, cut the brownies into 20 equal pieces and serve as a refreshing lemon dessert.

Notes

  • Use quality, high-fat butter for the best flavor and texture.
  • Remove eggs and butter from the refrigerator ahead of time to bring them to room temperature for better mixing.
  • Line the baking dish with parchment paper having high edges to easily lift the brownies out of the pan.
