Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan, lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until combined.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to keep the brownies fudgy.
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar before slicing into squares, if desired.
Notes
For best flavor, always use fresh lemon juice and zest. Avoid overmixing for softer brownies. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to a week.
