Lemon lovers---for you. Do not overbake or the bars will be dry. Makes about 24 small brownies.

METHOD Elec/mixer/ paddle flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk/combine together the eggs, 2-3 large lemons zested/juiced. Pour into the flour mixture and beat at medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. 5.Pour into sprayed 8X8" baker; bake 350 deg 20-25 min, or until just starting to turn golden around the edges; toothpick in center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before glazing.

When brownies are cooled completely, make the glaze.

GLAZE Sift the powdered sugar, add lemon zest and juice, and whisk together all three ingredients. You can add more powdered sugar or lemon juice here depending on the consistency you like. Spread 1/2 the glaze over the brownies with a rubber spatula. Let glaze set. Fridge to speed up process. Spread the remaining glaze over the bars, and let it set. Once again you can speed this up by placing them in the fridge. Cut into bars, and serve.

Regarding softened butter: I’ve given up baking with American butter because it simply won’t soften. 12 - 24 hours is way too long to wait when you want to fire up the oven and bake cookies. I now use Irish or French butter. The Irish is often cheaper than the American and softens up within ten minutes out of the fridge.
