So yeah, THIS IS HAPPENING. This recipe has been requested time and again, and right here is your new favorite zingy bake ever. 

Lemon Bakes

Actually, I don’t get tired of lemon, it’s by no means too heavy, and I simply adore it. I’ve made what seems like and limitless quantity of lemon recipes already, however there’s at all times room for extra.

My lemon drizzle loaf cake is iconic, and such a traditional, and it’s simply zingy perfection. My lemon bars are the identical, with a thiiiiick lemon curd on prime of a home made shortbread, I am keen on them. 

Lemon Meringue 

On the subject of lemon meringue, I’ve a good few recipes already, from the traditional lemon meringue pie, to even lemon meringue ice cream… and they’re each as equally as scrumptious as the opposite. The flavour of lemon blended with the sweetness of meringue is simply perfection in my eyes.

Blondies 

These blondies have a combination of ten elements concerned, however they’re all elements which might be straightforward to seek out or purchase from the store. The blondies are comparable sufficient to my different blondies, I simply swap issues as much as change flavours typically.

• Sugar – I take advantage of each gentle brown gentle sugar and granulated sugar in these blondies, however all of 1 or all the different works nicely 
• Eggs – my blondies have a tendency to make use of three as customary, I at all times use medium eggs 
• Flour – simply common plain flour, otherwise you’ll have a cake texture. I additionally use cornflour for texture however this may be changed with 25g extra plain flour
• Lemon – I take advantage of the zest of a lemon right here, however you need to use 1tsp lemon extract should you want. I additionally swirl via some lemon curd  
• White chocolate – for the chips within the blondie
• Meringue – I used store purchased meringues as you need the dry meringue, you don’t need gentle marshmallow ones as they could dissolve 

The Baking

I at all times line the bottom and sides of my tin with a very good high quality parchment paper in order that the blondies can’t persist with the tin. I additionally at all times use the identical measurement 9″ sq. tin when baking blondies, brownies, cookie bars and so forth as I really like the dimensions of bake you get from it. 

One the combination has been poured into  the tin and smoothed over, you possibly can bake it. I do know my oven temperatures are correct as I’ve finished sufficient testing in them. Nonetheless, should you aren’t certain, you need to use an oven thermometer to check it. Typically the differing temperature is okay, however with blondies and brownies it must be tremendous correct. 

I bake my blondies and brownies for 25-28 minutes, till there’s a slight wobble in the course of the tray. If the tray is wobbling masses, it does want slightly longer baking. In case you discover your blondies aren’t shaking in any respect, they could be barely overdone. Nonetheless, you possibly can strive slightly bit earlier than refrigerating to ensure in the event that they want this stage or not because it’s designed to assist set them.
