Blondies
Print This Post

his morning I finally tried Chef Kate’s Blondies – a popular recipe from Goop. They were terrific, but I did scale the recipe down a bit because the original is baked in a 12×18 pan. That’s perfect for bake sales or large groups, but we weren’t sharing today.

I didn’t understand the “essence of Emeril” until I ate at one of his restaurants. The man is a genius in the kitchen and the fact that these blondies are stellar is no surprise. Still, you have to be careful because there are a few things in the original recipe that are questionable and I [...]

This is a more traditional blondie than the dense and rich ones previously posted. The base is lighter and is a good contrast to the big chunks of pecans which in my opinion, are absolutely necessary.

So I decided to round up a few new butterscotch brownie recipes and test them side by side.

Happy Belated Butterscotch Brownie Day! And Happy Mother’s Day as well, but I missed National Butterscotch Day and need to touch on that first because one thing yesterday’s holiday brought to my attention was that of the nine recipes I have categorized under “Blondies”, only a couple have a particular emphasis on butterscotch. I need to make more [...]

Hey Ho! Cookie Madness is starting the week with some malty deliciousness from Baked: New Frontiers in Baking. For those of you not familiar with the topic, Baked is a popular bakery in Brooklyn which became slightly famous when Oprah Winfrey named their brownies as one of her favorite things.
