Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar thoroughly. Gradually add the melted butter and fresh lemon juice, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth and well blended, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Bake the brownies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter evenly into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8 inch baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best citrus flavor; bottled lemon juice can be used but may alter the taste.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing to maintain their structure.
  • Optional: Add lemon zest to enhance the lemon aroma and flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
