Lemon
Brownies
Lemony
Goodness and it is a Brownie.
I
have just died and gone to Lemon Heaven…
Ingredients
· 3/4 c all-purpose flour
· 3/4 c sugar
· 1/4 tsp salt
· 1/2 c unsalted butter, softened
· 2 large eggs
· 2 Tbsp. lemon zest
· 2 tsp. lemon juice
Glaze
· 1 c powdered sugar, heaping measure
· 4 Tbsp. lemon juice
· 8 tsp. lemon zest
Directions
1.
Preheat
the oven to 350 degrees. Grease/spray an 8 x 8 inch baking dish (if you're
looking to feed a crowd, double the recipe and use a 9 x 13 pan).
2.
Next… zest
and juice two large lemons and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, or
a large bowl, beat the flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter until combined.
3.
In a
separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until
combined. Pour into the flour mixture and beat at medium speed until smooth and
creamy (about 2 minutes).
4.
Pour into
your greased baking dish, and bake for 23-25 minutes, or until just starting to
turn golden around the edges. Insert a toothpick in the middle, and it should
come out clean. Allow to
cool completely!
While
brownies are cooling, make your glaze
5.
Combine
the powder sugar (you can sift if you want, but I find that annoying), lemon
zest and juice. Whisk it up until it looks like glaze and is not lumpy.
6.
Spread
half the glaze over the brownies, let set in the fridge for about 30 minutes
and then pour the remaining glaze on, and let set again.
Thank
you… Luann Crownover
