How to make Lemony Lemon Brownies
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.
To make the Brownies:
Step 1: Use butter to grease an 8 x 8-inch baking dish. Set aside.
Step 2: In a small bowl, zest and juice two lemons. Set aside.
Step 3: Add the flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter in a bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until combined.
Step 4: Whisk the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon in a different bowl until just combined. Add this into the flour mixture and beat at medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Pour the mixture into the baking dish and place inside the preheated oven.
Step 6: Bake for about 23 to 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Step 7: Once done, remove from the oven and let the brownie cool completely. Make sure to not over-bake the bars or they will turn out dry.
To make the Glaze:
Step 1: In a bowl, sift the powdered sugar. Whisk with lemon zest and juice.
Step 2: Use a rubber spatula to spread the glaze over the cooled brownies. Cut into bars and serve. Enjoy!
