Ingredients

For the Brownies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 3/4 cup flour

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

For the Glaze:

  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 8 teaspoons lemon zest

  • 1 cup icing sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Prepare the baking dish: Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter.

  3. Zest and juice the lemons: Zest and juice two lemons. Set aside.

  4. Make the brownie batter: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add this to the flour mixture and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.

  5. Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies moist.

  6. Cool the brownies: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the dish.

  7. Prepare the glaze: Sift the icing sugar, then whisk it with the remaining lemon zest and juice until smooth. Spread the glaze evenly over the cooled brownies with a rubber spatula.

  8. Final touches: Let the glaze set, then cut into bars and serve.
