BUTTERSCOTCH PECAN BLONDIES



Butterscotch Pecan Blondies image

I first combined pecans and butterscotch in these blondies because they were my mom-mom's favorite flavors. When she loved them, they became a family favorite and I baked them for her every chance I got. They are fantastic when sliced warm and topped with ice cream. They also make the perfect addition to a friendly care package.

Time 2h

Yield 16 blondies

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
14 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, plus 1 large egg yolk
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup chopped toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, line it with parchment paper, then spray the parchment. Set aside.
  • Place the butter in a medium saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until deep golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately pour into a medium heatproof bowl. Add the brown sugar, salt and baking powder. Whisk to combine. Whisk in the vanilla, whole egg and yolk until smooth.
  • Add the flour to the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until nearly combined. Reserve about 2 tablespoons each of the butterscotch chips and pecans, then stir the rest into the batter until evenly combined.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the reserved pecans and butterscotch chips evenly over the top then press into the top of the batter.
  • Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 32 to 34 minutes. Let cool in the pan then cut into 16 squares.

BUTTER-PECAN BLONDIES

Blondies prove that pantry staples like flour, brown sugar, butter, and eggs can be spun into pure gold-and without a mixer, at that. Amp up their flavor with a touch of dark rum and a tumble of toasted pecans, and a new favorite is born.

Time 45m

Yield Makes 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups whole pecans
2 sticks unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups light-brown sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for sprinkling
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon dark rum (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread pecans on a rimmed baking sheet; toast until fragrant, 6 to 7 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
  • Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter, then dust with flour, tapping out excess. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together butter and 2 cups brown sugar until combined. Add eggs; whisk until combined. Add vanilla and rum. Fold in flour mixture with a spatula until just combined (do not overmix). Fold in half of nuts.
  • Transfer batter to prepared dish; smooth top with an offset spatula. Sprinkle top with remaining nuts and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Bake until golden around edges and a tester inserted in center comes out with very few crumbs, 22 to 24 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before cutting into squares. Blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

Yield 48 bars

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces butter, room temperature
1 3/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup pecans
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup sugar
4 large egg yolks, room temperature
6 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces, room temperature
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

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.

  • 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.

Tips:

- Use light or dark brown sugar for a richer flavor. - Add a variety of nuts, such as pecans, walnuts, or almonds, for a crunchy texture. - If you don't have butterscotch chips, you can use chocolate chips or toffee bits. - For a chewy blondie, use more brown sugar than white sugar. - For a cakey blondie, use more white sugar than brown sugar. - Don't overmix the batter, as this will make the blondies tough. - Bake the blondies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Let the blondies cool completely before cutting them into bars.
