Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 60 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 120 grams powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 30 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons lemon zest (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Whisk the granulated sugar into the melted butter until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated after each addition.
Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and lemon zest until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually stir this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan.
While the brownies are cooling, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and 30 ml of freshly squeezed lemon juice until smooth and pourable.
Once the brownies are completely cooled, spread the glaze evenly over the top. If desired, sprinkle with additional lemon zest for garnish.
Allow the glaze to set before slicing the brownies into 9 squares. Serve and enjoy!
