1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup lemon juice Freshly squeezed

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, melt the butter and add the sugar, mixing well.
Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until combined.
Mix in the flour and salt, followed by the lemon juice and zest.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Baking

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Glazing

For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth.
Once the brownies have cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and let it set before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

Serve your lemon brownies freshly cut into squares. They pair beautifully with a cup of tea or lemonade. Handle with care to preserve their moist texture. Store in an airtight container for freshness.
