Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Mix in the lemon zest and lemon juice until well incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  9. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack.
For the Glaze:
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  2. Once the brownies are completely cooled, spread the glaze evenly over the top.
  3. Allow the glaze to set before cutting into squares.
