Lemon Brownies with Lemon Glaze

Ingredients

• 150 g Granulated sugar
• 2 Lemon zest (Zest of 2 lemons)
• 110 g Unsalted butter
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice (For the brownie batter)
• 125 g All-purpose flour
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Baking powder
• 60 g Powdered sugar (For the lemon glaze)
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice (For the glaze; add up to 1 tsp more if needed to thin it)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.

3. 3

   Put the lemon zest and granulated sugar in a bowl. Massage the zest into the sugar until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add the melted butter and mix well for about 1 minute.

5. 5

   Whisk in the eggs and the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until the mixture looks glossy.

6. 6

   Gently fold in the flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.

7. 7

   Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

8. 8

   Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.

9. 9

   While the brownies cool, make the glaze: combine the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a small bowl, then whisk until smooth. If it is too thick, add up to 1 teaspoon more lemon juice to thin it.

10. 10

    Pour the glaze over the cooled brownies and spread it evenly to the edges. Let the glaze set completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

The source does not specify the pan dimensions or a cooling/set time; cool the brownies and allow the glaze to set completely before slicing.
