Fudgy Lemon Squares


Recommended by my sister Penelope, this recipe is taken from the luridly-coloured pages of Woman's World magazine (2/16/18 edition). The recipe is called Fudgy Lemons Brownies. I've changed the name somewhat because brownies are brown, and these squares are basically blonder than Blondies. They're pretty tasty if you happen to be a lemon lover.



Ingredients:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup butter at room temperature
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • grated zest of 2 lemons
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Glaze:
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • grated zest of 1 lemon
Methods:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 or 9 inch pan with foil and coat with cooking spray.

Mix together the sugar and butter until creamy, then add the eggs one at a time until just combined. Stir in the lemon juice, zest, flour and salt. Spread the batter in the pan and bake for 22-25 minutes. Cool completely, then combine the 3 glaze ingredients and top with the glaze. When the glaze is set, cut into squares.
