Lemon Brownies...

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.

    21. Hi Susan,
      Thanks 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!
