We're hosting Easter brunch this year, so I've been perusing recipes that we have enjoyed over the years. The Meyer lemons in the fridge also swayed my decision. Add some Easter candy to the plate, and you have a festive centerpiece. Some perfect sweets for the weekend!
Our weather has been gorgeous and Spring has sprung. I'm joining Sweets For A Saturday, Seasonal Sundays, A Themed Baker's Sunday and Cozy Home Party with this post.
Lemon Brownies
Source: Marilyn (DanaIN, Garden Web 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 (I also added some lemon chips)
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.
I took this photo the very first time I made the Lemon Brownies and brought them to the office.
My co-workers still mention them.
