Lemon Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
• 150 g granulated sugar (3/4 cup)
• Zest of 2 lemons
• 1/2 cup (115 g) melted butter
• 1 tbsp oil
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 150 g all-purpose flour (1 1/4 cup)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 120 g icing sugar (for the glaze)
• 1-2 tbsp lemon juice (for the glaze)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, rub the zest of the lemon with the granulated sugar using your fingers.
2. Add in the egg and the yolk and whisk until just combined. Then add the rest of the wet ingredients: butter, oil, and lemon juice. Mix well.
3. Fold in the flour, mixing gently making sure not to over mix.
4. Transfer the batter to an 8x8 inch sauare pan lined with baking paper.
5. Bake at 350F (180C) for 25-27 mins.
6. To make the glaze, simply mix the icing sugar and the lemon juice. Start with 1 tbsp first and check for consistency. If it's too thick add lemon juice 1 tsp at a time. If too runny, add more icing sugar 1 tbsp at a time.
7. Once baked, let the lemon brownie cool in the pan for 10-15 mins. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, usually 30 mins-45 mins. (Don't slice while it's still hot)
8. If you want to dig in right away, pop the brownie in the freezer for 15-20 mins before slicing.
9. Drizzle the icing and enjoy
