Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until just combined, then add the lemon juice and zest until frothy.
- Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients, then add the softened butter in chunks. Whisk until a thick, smooth batter forms.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly into the corners.
- Bake for about 25 minutes until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest for the glaze; mix until smooth.
- Pour the glaze over the cooled brownies, spreading it evenly. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Once set, cut the brownies into squares using a sharp knife.
