Tips:

  • To achieve a fudgy texture, use melted butter instead of softened butter, and don't overmix the batter.
  • For a more intense lemon flavor, use a combination of lemon zest and lemon juice.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • For a gooey center, bake the brownies for a few minutes less than the recommended time.
  • To prevent the brownies from sticking to the pan, line it with parchment paper or grease it with cooking spray.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
