Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 teaspoons Lemon Zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Lemon Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice or Milk (for milder flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan and Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Measure and gather all ingredients to streamline the baking process.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, melt the unsalted butter completely and let it cool slightly. Whisk in sugar, eggs, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution and avoid clumps.
  4. Incorporate Dry Into Wet: Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain tender brownies.
  5. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Prepare the Lemon Glaze: While the brownies cool, whisk together powdered sugar with fresh lemon juice (or milk for a milder flavor) until the glaze is smooth and pourable.
  7. Glaze and Serve: Once the brownies have cooled slightly, drizzle or spread the lemon glaze over the top. Let it set before slicing and serving your tangy treat.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor and aroma.
  • Don’t overbake; remove brownies when just set for optimal moistness.
  • Allow brownies to cool before glazing to prevent glaze from melting off.
  • Use a fine grater for zest to avoid bitter pith pieces.
  • Adjust powdered sugar or liquid in glaze for desired consistency.
