Delicious Lemon Brownies Recipe - Easy French Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan.

    Use parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

    Sifting the flour helps to avoid lumps.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix with melted butter, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

    Ensure the butter is not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep brownies fudgy.
  5. Bake the Brownies

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.

    Check with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  6. Cool and Icing

    Allow the brownies to cool completely before icing with powdered sugar.

    Dust with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
