Butterscotch Blondies Recipe, Step by Step

TH and I were due to visit my cousin for lunch. A cousin with two kids. Which meant, we should be getting them something.Fruits? Nah. Reminds me of visiting someone at the hospital.

Chocolates? I am a bit careful when I get this for kids because I know parents who don’t introduce chocolates to their kids until they are about 10 or so. Yeah, really. Though I am super glad my parents didn’t think of something like this, I respect these parents’ decision.

That’s when I decided to play it safe and bake something myself. TH may disagree about the ‘safe’ part but who listens to him anyway, right?

So I decided to bake these lovely butterscotch blondies. ThisĀ is a step-by-step recipe, my first one inspired by Zesty Cook. These blondies are quite foolproof and really yummy, not to mention a great variation from the usual chocolate brownies!

The best part is, the recipe doesn’t involve any kind of whipping, or beating, or creaming, or other complicated baking techniques. This is best suited for baking beginners. So this is for all those of you who are looking to bake something simple and easy.

So, let’s start with butter. 1/2 cup butter, melted. I gave it a turn in the microwave for about 45 seconds on medium-high.

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinNext, let’s measure 1 cup brown sugar.

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinMix throughly. You don’t need any fancy electric beater or anything for this. Just good old mixing with hands until well blended.

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinNext, add an egg.

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinMix well, gently, until you get a nice watery batter like this that’s ready for the flour that you are going to add in next.

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinBut wait! Before we measure out the flour, let’s add 1 tsp vanilla extract/essence to this and mix well.

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinFinally, its time for the flour. Measure out 1 cup of all purpose flour. I just dunked the whole thing in. Don’t forget to follow the flour with a pinch of salt.

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinMix well until the flour is well combined with no lumps.

Now, its time for the star ingredient – Butterscotch Chips!

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinI didn’t find any in the baking supplies store near my house but they had these cute butterscotchĀ drops that were really tiny chips of caramel, so I used these instead. We will need 3/4 cup of chips.

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinDunk those in too, and blend gently without mashing the chips too much.

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinThere you go. We are done! Well, almost. This is when you call your husband over to help transfer the batter to a greased cake tray so that you can click that as well. Like so.

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinOf course, you have to do the spreading and making it look pretty bit.

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinTransfer this to an oven pre-heated at 350 F / 175 C.

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinYes, that’s my oven. Its very old-fashioned but works like a charm.

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinThe one my mom owns doesn’t have a temperature regulator, yet, she used to make the most amazing cakes, different kinds – not to mention puddings and other stuff too!

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinMine has a regulator and the highest setting is 220 C. I rarely need a hotter oven than that.

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinThe dome-like lid lets you take a peek into what’s baking. You see those tiny holes near the edge of the glass disc? That’s where I insert my ‘toothpick’ to check if my cakes are done. Though, when I say toothpick, I actually mean an extra long skewer!

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePinAfter about 30-40 mins of baking, your butterscotch blondies should look like this. If you are anything like me, you would have to resist the temptation to just dig your hands in and remind yourself just in time that you baked these for your cousin and family.

It’s quite easy after that. Cool, cut into squares.

Pack it in a container…

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe - Step By Step RecipePin.. and get ready for the compliments šŸ™‚

Oh, this should easily get you about 12-15 squares if you use an 8 by 8 cake tray so you will have enough for yourselves too!

    A cake recipe without baking powder or soda?! Wow.. and it looks nice and crumbly. This recipe makes me question the relevance of adding those leavening agents in various cake recipes. Could you please throw some light on this..?

      hi ruchi, this is not a cake recipe. blondies are like brownies but without chocolate. so it won’t be soft and fluffy like cakes.
