No, No, Not the Lemon!

Hey everyone and Happy Early Memorial Day Weekend!  We are off to a little party tonight and I made this recipe for Lemon Brownies and wanted to share.  They are so good and super-easy!  I think the reason they are called brownies is because they are kind of dense like a chocolate brownie.

The original source for this recipe is Rita May at Rita's Recipes.  I actually tripled the recipe, because there will be quite a crowd at this party.  The only thing I did differently was add just a pinch of salt to both the brownie batter and then also to the glaze.  I just think anything this sweet is enhanced with just a bit of salt.  I used a 12 x 16 cake pan (remember, I tripled the recipe) and lined it with parchment paper.  I didn't need to grease the pan or the paper and was able to simply lift the entire thing out of the pan when cool, glaze it and then cut into squares.

Just look at all that lemony goodness!

I hope everyone is having wonderful weather (ours is a tad warm but not too bad) and gearing up for great family memories this weekend.  Be safe, y'all, and remember what this holiday is all about.
