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
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Prepare the baking dish: Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter.
- Zest and juice the lemons: Zest and juice two lemons. Set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cool the brownies: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the dish.
- 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.
- Final touches: Let the glaze set, then cut into bars and serve.
