To start off, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
– Zest of 2 lemons
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– Powdered sugar, for dusting
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the lemon juice and zest.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough brownies.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the brownies have cooled, dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and a beautiful presentation.
These luscious lemon brownies are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy, and they are sure to become a new favorite in your dessert rotation.
