Raspberry blondies

I wondered, last year, whether maybe I'd just gone off cooking. Not in a bad way, exactly, just that it might be something that I used to enjoy doing and didn't enjoy any more. But it turns out I just needed some people to cook for...



Ingredients

175 g butter
200g soft light brown sugar
100g caster sugar
200g white chocolate
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs

200g self-raising flour
75 g frozen raspberries

Method

  1. Melt the butter, light sugar, caster sugar and 100g of the white chocolate in a bain marie. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  2. Line a square 20 x 20 cm tin with greaseproof paper. Preheat oven to 180oC.
  3. Add the vanilla extract to the cooled mixture, followed by the beaten eggs, one at a time.
  4. Add the flour, and mix until smooth.
  5. Add 50g of the remaining white chocolate, broken into small pieces, together with the raspberries, and pour the batter into the tin.
  6. Bake for 50 minutes until just set, and leave to cool in the tin.
  7. Melt the remaining 50 g of white chocolate in a bain marie and drizzle over the blondies.
