Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 stick/8 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large or extra large eggs
  • 3/4 cup superfine or granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea or kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

For Lemon Glaze

  • 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp cold water if needed
  • lemon zest for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. 1.Preheat oven to 340 degrees. Mist a non stick 8 or 9 inch square pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

    2.In a large mixing bowl, beat with a hand held mixer or stand mixer, the softened butter with the sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time until well incorporated. Add the lemon juice and zest and mix just until combined.

    3.In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda and baking soda. Add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and beat at medium speed for about 1 to 2 minutes until nice and creamy.

    4.Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for about 20-24 minutes. Try not to over bake. The edges will turn lightly golden brown. A toothpick should have moist crumbs. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes.

    5.While cooling, prepare the glaze and then spread over the brownies and sprinkle on the zest. Cut into 16 brownies.
