I found this recipe on a lovely blog called
Mountain Breaths. Mountain Breaths found the recipe on one of my other favorite blogs
There's Always Thyme To Cook. I went back to my bookmarks and sure enough there it was bookmarked and saved from when There's Always Thyme To Cook posted it in April. I say thank you to both blogs, the lemon brownies were out of this world delicious. Here's the recipe!!!
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter at room temperature
- 4 eggs
- juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- additional lemon zest for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees: Line the bottom of a 9x13x2 inch baking dish with parchment paper and spray with Pam. In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, and salt: add butter. Stir together eggs, juice from 1/2 lemon and zest from 1 lemon. Stir into batter and pour into prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until set, use a toothpick to check. Remove from oven and cool on a rack. When brownies are cool prepare glaze by stirring the powdered sugar and 2 tbsp. lemon juice together and then spread over the cooled brownies. Once again I added a few drops of my pure lemon oil from King Arthur's Bakery.
Nice choice on the picture. I hope you plan on making these for me sometime! I'm sure they're delicious, just like everything else you make.

WOW, Lemon Brownies! Yummy, I love anything made with lemon and lucky for me I have all the ingredients on hand to make them. Oh, and they are pretty too. Thank you for sharing, Julie of Dog Trot Farm.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteThanks for poppin by myblog.
You know I kinda hate brownies because they're just overkill and a bad-take on chocolate.. makes them too chocolatey.
But I don't think there's anything too lemoney! I would love to give your lemonies a huge bite and munch!
OMG these are obscene to a person on Weight Watchers. I wouldn't be able to eat for a week after having these. They sound like happiness on a plate.
ReplyDeleteHeavenly! What a great idea. They look like clouds of lemon. I want one now!!
ReplyDeleteThis is certainly new and interesting to me, lemon brownies. lemons must have given these goodies a refreshing look and taste all together.
ReplyDeleteBeing a Southern CA girl at heart, I love all things lemon -- now that I live in landlocked Nebraska -- I seel out lemony recipes to remind me of home ;)
ReplyDeleteYour blog is lovely -- this was my first visit here. Count me a follower. Come on over to Faithfulness Farm for a visit :)
Blessings!
