By á-153

Ingredients

• For the tart lemon glaze:
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour {King Arthur All-Purpose Flour}
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt {Sea Salt}
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 tbsp. lemon juice
• 8 tsp. lemon zest
• 1 cup icing sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter and set aside.

Zest and juice two lemons and set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixture fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined. Pour it into the flour mixture and beat for 2 minutes at medium speed until smooth and creamy. Pour into baking dish and bake for 23-25 minutes; it should turn golden around the edges.

Allow to cool completely before glazing. Do not over bake, or the bars will dry.

Filter the powdered sugar and whisk with lemon zest and juice. Spread the glaze over the brownies with a rubber spatula and let glaze set. Cut into bars and serve.
