Blondie

Here's an alternative to brownies for those who don't like the rich taste of chocolate; these blondies are made with white chocolate.

Ingredients:

• 150 g white chocolate, roughly chopped

• 125 g unsalted butter

• 150 g caster sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

• 200 g plain flour

• a pinch of salt

• 120 g shelled pecan nuts, chopped

• a 33 x 23 x 5-cm baking tray, lined with greaseproof paper

Makes about 12 portions

Recipe:

Preheat the oven to 170°C (325°F) Gas 3.

Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the base of the bowl touch the water).

Leave until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat. Add the sugar and stir until well incorporated Add the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring briskly so that you don't allow the eggs time to scramble.

Don't worry if the mixture looks like it is starting to split. Add the flour, salt and pecan nuts and stir until well incorporated and the nuts are evenly dispersed Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and the centre is still soft.

Leave to cool completely.
