  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 280g Plain Flour

  • 1+1/2 tbsp Coffee Essence (Read tips if you'd like to use instant coffee).

Equipment

  • 1 Large bowl (Microwaveable).
  • 1 Medium Bowl (Microwaveable).
  • Utensils (Tbsp, Spatula and a knife for slicing your blondies).
  • Food scale/Kitchen scale
  • Baking tin (Square Baking Tin 9x9").
  • Baking paper/ Parchment paper

Method
 

Brown Butter-
  1. To brown butter in the microwave, chop it into small pieces and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or parchment paper. Microwave the butter in short bursts, typically 2 minutes at a time, until it reaches your desired colour and nutty aroma. Check it every minute or so and remove it from the microwave when it's browned!
Coffee Walnut Blondies-
  1. Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4 / 180ºc and line an 9x9" square tin with parchment paper.
  2. Add the browned unsalted butter and white chocolate to a bowl and melt in short bursts in the microwave, stirring well each time, until smooth. (Ensure you stir well in between to stop it from splitting).
  3. Once melted, stir in your caster sugar until combined.
  4. Add in the eggs and golden syrup, and stir again until combined.
  5. Mix through the plain flour, coffee, cornflour, walnuts and chocolate until you can no longer see any flour.
  6. Pour the mixture into the lined tin, bake for 25-30 minutes (mine take 28 minutes), take them out the oven when there is an ever so slight wobble in the middle.
  7. Once baked, let the blondies cool in the tin fully, and then set the blondies in the fridge for 3-4 hours or overnight for best results!
  8. Once chilled, slice into 9 pieces.
  9. Drizzle each slice with melted milk chocolate and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
  10. Enjoy! x
