When I found Lemon Brownies on Carol's blog There's Always Thyme To Cook, I dropped what I was doing and made them almost immediately.
In the mail this week, I received a newly released novel Gone With A Handsomer Man and was looking for a sweet treat for the weekend. We're heading to the mountains for the weekend, and I plan to curl up with my new book from Michael Lee West and lemon brownies.
Stop back next Friday when we bake and photograph a few recipes that are mentioned in Gone With A Handsomer Man.
"Gone With a Handsomer Man is hilarious, endearing, and tasty!"--Diana Gabaldon, New York Times bestselling author of the Outlander series.
Here's the recipe for the Lemon Brownies. YUM!
Source: Marilyn (DanaIN, Cooking Forum)
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter; room temperature
4 eggs
Juice from 1/2 lemon
Zest from 1 lemon
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Additional lemon zest for garnish
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line the bottom only 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 together powdered sugar and 2 tablespoon lemon juice; drizzle over brownies and sprinkle with additional lemon zest.

ReplyDeleteLemon brownies sounds like a wonderful treat. I am going to have to try these.
