Instructions
 

For the Lemon Brownies

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x9 inch metal baking pan and line it with parchment. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter and the white chocolate together in a double boiler over medium-low heat. Stir continuously to ensure the white chocolate gets heated evenly. Then remove from the heat.
  • Add the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest and vanilla to a large bowl and whisk together until pale and smooth.
  • Pour in the white chocolate and melted butter mixture and whisk until combined and smooth.
  • Fold the flour and salt into the wet ingredients with a rubber spatula just until combined.
  • Pour the lemon brownie batter into the prepared pan. Use a mini offset spatula to smooth the batter out.
  • Bake the brownies for 32-36 minutes. Cover the pan loosely with parchment paper towards end of baking if the brownies are getting too brown. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  • Once cool, use a butter knife to loosen the edges of the brownies from the pan, and pull up on the parchment paper to gently release.

For the Lemon Glaze

  • Make the lemon glaze by mixing together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, pinch of salt and lemon zest in a medium bowl.
  • Pour the glaze over the lemon brownies and use a mini offset spatula to make an even layer of glaze. Let the glaze set, sprinkle with extra lemon zest, then cut into 16 squares and enjoy!
