Butterscotch Blondies Recipes

BUTTERSCOTCH BLONDIES

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Add 2 rectangular sheets of parchment to an 8-inch square baking pan in a crisscross fashion, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides once fitted in the pan. Set aside.
• Cook the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Swirl as the butter melts so that it browns evenly. It will foam, then turn golden and finally turn a toasty brown, about 6 minutes. Once the aroma is nutty, remove it from the heat and pour into a large heatproof glass bowl. (You should have about 6 tablespoons of browned butter.)
• Whisk to combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Whisk the brown sugar into the browned butter until combined. Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Then fold in the pecans, white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan in an even layer. Bake until set and firm when touched and the top is glossy and crackled, 20 to 24 minutes. Let cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
• Lift the blondie out of the pan using the parchment handles and cut into 9 squares. Drizzle lightly with butterscotch sauce and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Steps:

• Make the blondies: Set rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F.
• Butter and flour a 9 x 13" baking pan.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• Beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Beat in the vanilla.
• At low speed, mix in the dry ingredients in 3 additions until just blended.
• Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden and a cake tester comes out clean.
• Cool completely.
• Make the caramel frosting: Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 8 minutes, or until fragrant and brown (it is good to do this when you remove your blondies from the oven, as the oven will already be hot).
• Cool, then chop coarsely.
• In a saucepan, combine the cream, brown sugar, sugar, egg yolks, butter and salt.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens, about 12 minutes; do not boil.
• Strain the mixture into a large bowl, pressing it through a sieve.
• Stir in the vanilla, coconut and pecans and cool completely.
• Spread the frosting evenly over the blondies.
• Cover the pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Cut into 48 small bars and serve cold or at room temperature.
• These should be refrigerated if not eaten immediately.
