# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a 20×20 cm baking pan with parchment paper, allowing overhang for easy removal.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until pale and fluffy.
03 -
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
04 -
Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt. Gently fold until just combined to avoid overmixing.
05 -
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface evenly. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the centre emerges clean.
06 -
Allow the brownies to cool fully in the pan before glazing to ensure proper set.
07 -
Combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Stir until the glaze is smooth and pourable.
08 -
Spread the citrus glaze evenly over the cooled brownies. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set the glaze before slicing into bars.
# Additional Information:
01 -
Always use fresh lemon juice and zest for optimal flavour and aroma.
02 -
Avoid overbaking; brownies should remain moist and tender in texture.
03 -
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to extend freshness.
04 -
For enhanced citrus intensity, add a few drops of lemon extract to the batter.
