I hesitate to call these "brownies" with their dazzling yellow hue, but that is what the recipe dubbed them, and so I give you "Lemony Lemon Brownies" as seen in various Pinterest and facebook posts. :) I tried these out of curiosity, and they're certainly no show-stopper. However, they are a tasty little treat that are quickly whipped-up, and could be paired with other desserts (various ice creams come to mind) for an escape from the ordinary.
Lemon Brownies (with lemon glaze)
Brownies:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup flour (all-purpose or cake)
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp. lemon zest
3/4 cups granulated white sugar
1/4 tsp. sea salt
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
Glaze:
4 Tbsp. lemon juice
8 tsp. lemon zest
1 cup icing sugar (powdered/confectioners sugar)
Pre-heat oven to 350F. Grease an 8"x8" pan. Zest and juice 2 lemons. Beat together the flour, sugar, salt and butter. In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs, zest, and lemon juice. Add this to the flour mixture. Beat until creamy, pour into greased pan and bake 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden-brown around the edges. Cool completely before glazing. (To make the glaze, simply whisk the three ingredients together until smooth.)
