Going blonde

With one member of the family having given up chocolate for Lent I couldn't make a batch of Brownies as I'd rather fancied doing, so I've gone for their pale and interesting counterpart instead. Book Group stalwarts may remember the Maple and Roast Macadamia Blondies we did for Alias Grace (the post with a link to the recipe is here ).

These really are good - very moist, very mapley, very moreish - quite scrumptious, in fact.

I must try these. I have a recipe for macadamia, white chocolate and raspberry blondies that is also very good.

Your recipe sounds very appealing, Mary!

What impressive self-denial, Pamela!

Everyone knows that white chocolate isn't real chocolate so these are fine during Lent ... aren't they?

White chocolate, raspberry and macadamia blondies
125g butter
200g white chocolate
165g caster sugar
2 eggs
110g plain flour
75g self-raising flour
100g white chocolate, chopped
75g macadamia nuts, roughly chopped 150g fresh or frozen raspberries

Grease and line a 23cm square tin.
Melt the 200g white chocolate and the butter together (I do it in the microwave) then add the remaining ingredients. Spread in the tin and bake at 180 degrees for about 45 minutes. Cool in the tin.

Wonderful, Mary! Thankyou.

This blog is amazing! Not only do you cook something so irresistible, you also photograph it in a way that makes me want to reach out and grab that macadamia blondie from my computer screen. The muffins looked great too.

Thankyou, Andrew!
