Blondies ….with lemon

Lemons.

Love them.

Delicious

in

just 

about

anything

I 

grabbed

a 

few

sun-warmed

fragrant

Meyer lemons

from 

my friend

Sandy's tree

(click on link above for another couple of lemon recipes)

a

and

found a recipe

for

Lemon Blondies

that

was

SO

easy

that 

I 

threw

it together

in 

my mixer

and

spread

the batter out in my pan

and looked over to 

see

the 
lemons
still on my
kitchen counter

I forgot

to add the 

lemon juice

AND

the lemon zest

(the key ingredients)

to the batter

mental note:

when baking,

1.  slow down

2.  don't watch Ellen at the same time

3.  save the glass of wine for later

hmmmmm
what to do?

the lemon blondies
 would
 NOT
be
very good
without lemon
                                   would they?

I couldn't

 exactly

remix

the 

ingredients

so

 I

 baked

the 

non-lemon blondies

and

fresh 

out of the oven

I

poked
a

whole bunch
of

 holes

in the

hot "blondies"

(with a wood skewer)

and

added

a 

Meyer lemon glaze

that

infused

the

hot "blondies"

to

make them really

lemon-y

and they
were
perfect!
light,
and gooey
and

..
lemon-y perfection!

Here's my

Blondies with Lemon
Recipe
…..
1 1/2 c. flour
1 c.  sugar
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. melted and cooled butter
3 eggs
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
(zest from 1 Meyer lemon
and
2 TBS. fresh squeezed juice
from that lemon)

350 degrees
9'x13' pan

Whisk together the dry ingredients,  set aside.
Mix together the remaining ingredients
(you may forget the lemon, if you like)
and add
the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients

Spread batter in 9"x13" pan
and bake for about
30 minutes.

If you forgot to add the lemon:
take the
hot blondies
out
of the oven
and poke
holes
all over the top

whisk together
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
zest of one Meyer lemon
3 TBS. fresh squeezed juice from that lemon
and pour the
mixture
all over the
top
spreading it so that
the
glaze goes into
all the holes

Let
the
Lemon Blondies cool.

Serve
with a
celebratory
glass
of Bubbly!
!!

If you added

the 

lemon zest and juice

as the recipe

called

for

no need

to poke holes 
or

make the 

lemon glaze
