Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml/8 fl oz) brown sugar
- 1 cup (120 g/4.2 oz) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (1 stick/113 g/4 oz) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup (85 g/3 oz) butterscotch chips
- ¼ cup (40 g/1.4 oz) white chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preparation: Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with butter or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Butter Fusion: Melt butter in a large mixing bowl, allowing it to cool slightly while developing a rich golden color.
- Sugar Incorporation: Vigorously whisk granulated and brown sugars into the warm butter until the mixture transforms into a smooth, glossy blend.
- Egg Integration: Add eggs individually, thoroughly mixing after each addition to create a silky, homogeneous texture.
- Flavor Enhancement: Introduce vanilla extract, stirring to distribute the aromatic essence evenly throughout the mixture.
- Dry Ingredient Combination: Sift flour, salt, and baking powder together, ensuring a lump-free and consistent dry mixture.
- Batter Formation: Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, maintaining a delicate touch to preserve the blondies’ tender consistency.
- Chip Distribution: Carefully fold butterscotch chips throughout the batter, ensuring an even spread of sweet morsels.
- Baking Process: Transfer batter to prepared pan, smoothing the surface to create an uniform layer. Place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes.
- Completion and Cooling: Test doneness with a toothpick – it should emerge with a few moist crumbs. Remove from oven and allow blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Prevent Sticking Smartly: Use parchment paper with overhanging edges for easy removal and flawless cutting of blondies.
- Butter Melting Technique: Allow melted butter to cool slightly to prevent scrambling eggs and maintain smooth batter consistency.
- Mix Minimally: Avoid overmixing dry and wet ingredients to keep blondies tender and prevent developing tough, dense texture.
- Even Chip Distribution: Toss butterscotch chips lightly in flour before folding to prevent sinking and ensure balanced flavor throughout the dessert.
