Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Zest of 2 lemons
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper
In a large bowl, mix melted butter and sugar until well combined
Stir in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated
Add vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice; mix well
Fold in flour and salt gently until no streaks remain
Pour batter into the prepared pan
Bake for 30 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly wobbly
Let cool completely before slicing into 24 pieces
Notes
Use fresh lemon zest and juice for maximum flavor.
Ensure the pan is lined well for easy cleanup
Cooling the brownies completely is key to achieving a fudgy texture.
