Ingredients
  

Brownie Base
  • 1 cup All purpose flour
  • 1 pinch Salt To balance the sweetness
  • 1/2 cup Butter, melted For a fudgy texture
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 large Eggs For structure and chewy texture
  • 1/4 cup Fresh lemon juice Use real lemon for best flavor
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon zest For a bright lemon punch
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Optional but adds flavor
Lemon Glaze
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice Adjust for desired consistency

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven and prepare an 8x8 inch pan by greasing it lightly or lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk melted butter and granulated sugar together until glossy.
  3. Add eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Sprinkle flour and salt over the mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the top is set, about 20-25 minutes. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Glazing
  1. Let the brownies cool completely before glazing.
  2. Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice until you achieve a thick yet pourable consistency.
  3. Drizzle or spread the glaze over the cooled brownies.

Notes

For best results, use fresh lemons and do not overbake to maintain the fudgy texture.
