Someone posted this 'Lemony Lemon Brownies' recipe on Facebook a few weeks ago, and I simply had to pin it to make at a later date.
My kids are huge fans of lemon flavoured, well, anything! so I knew that these would go down very well indeed. The brownies lasted all of about an hour before they were all polished off, & we decided to call ours 'lemonies'!
This is the original recipe from bestyummyrecipes.com, I've simply included conversions for ease. I take no credit for this recipe whatsoever, I just wanted to share it here because it is so delicious!
INGREDIENTS
{for the brownies}
3/4 cup (6oz) all-purpose (plain) flour
3/4 cup (6oz) granulated sugar
1/2 cup or 1 stick (4oz) unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp lemon zest
2 tbsp lemon juice
{for the glaze}
4 tbsp lemon juice
8 tsp lemon zest
1 cup (8oz) icing sugar
METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 180c/350f/Gas Mark 4 and grease a brownie pan (ours was 7x11 inch).
- Zest and juice two lemons and put them to one side.
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt, and butter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined.
- Pour it into the flour mixture and beat until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mixture into the brownie pan and bake for 23-25 mins, they should turn golden around the edges. Take care not to overbake or it will dry out the brownies.
- Allow to cool completely before glazing.
- Sieve the icing sugar & whisk with lemon zest and juice.
- Spread the glaze over the brownies and allow to set.
- Cut into even squares, and enjoy.
