Sometimes referred to as the āblonde brownieā rich, chewy, filled with dried apricots & white chocolate chips. They are a rich & quite sweet dessert made up of flour, butter, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla & baking powder, resulting in beautiful caramel, nutty undertones. Unlike a brownie, they donāt have any cocoa powder in them. This allows the flavour of the brown sugar to shine through and this gives the blondies a beautiful caramel taste to them.
Itāll be hard to stop at one!
Bonus, thereās no nuts in this version ā¦ perfect for anyone with allergies.
HOW TO MAKE BLONDIES
Turn your oven on to 180C and grease and line a 9 x9inch pan. I let the baking paper hang right over the edges so that itās really easy to pull the brownies out of the tray once they are cooled.
BEAT together the butter and brown sugar in bowl until creamy and white, add vanilla extract, eggs (1 at a time) and beat until fully combined.
Gradually stir in the flour mixture into your sugar mixture and stir until a few whisps of flour remain. Then add your white chocolate chips & dieces Angas Park dried apricots, coconut, mix again and you are done! You now have blondie batter. Tell me you wonāt lick your spoon!
Pour into your prepared tray and pop in the oven to cook for 45 minutes or until just golden brown. Make sure not to over-cook them as you really want that soft fudgy texture in the middle.
Once out of the oven leave them to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes and then using the edges of the baking paper, carefully remove the blondie square from the pan onto a wire rack.
We’re making the most of our time at home and we’re now baking more than ever! High-quality chocolate is what makes any blondie really special so give our Dulce Chocolate Valrhona Blondie recipe a go this week and let us know what you think š
@LarissaTakchi shows us her Russian Easter Bread (Kulich); the definition of fun and festive š°šThis recipe is a great activity to get the kids involved with while at home this weekend! @AngasPark @sunbeamfoods
INGREDIENTS 75 gm Angas Park mixed peel 75 gm Sunbeam sultanas 60 gm Angas park cranberries 40 gm golden or dark rum 190 gm milk Pinch of saffron powder 12 gm instant dry yeast 435 gm plain flour 127 gm caster sugar 130 gm butter 2 large eggs 2 egg yolks 1 tsp vanilla extract 40 gm slivered almonds, lightly toasted To decorate: assorted white sugar sprinkles
Lemon Icing
120 gm (1 cup) pure icing sugar, sieved 2 tsp lemon juice 100 gm pouring cream, milk or water
METHOD Soak dried fruit in warmed rum for at least 2 hours or, better still, overnight.
Warm the milk and saffron in a saucepan over medium heat until the milk is infused with saffron, set aside to cool to about 37C, then add yeast, 20gm flour and 12gm sugar, stir to combine, and stand until foamy (15 minutes).
Beat butter and remaining sugar in an electric mixer until pale and creamy, then gradually add beaten eggs and yolks, vanilla and a pinch salt. Add yeast mixture and mix until combined.
Change to a dough hook, add remaining flour and mix on low speed until dough is smooth and elastic (18-20 minutes).
Add dried fruit including rum, and almonds, and mix until just combined, then transfer to a buttered bowl, cover and set aside in a draught-free place until doubled in size (2-2Ā½ hours).
Knock back dough, then place in a paper panettone mould 17cm high and 15cm diameter, cover with a plastic container sitting over it or cover loosely with plastic wrap to stop dough drying out and set aside until dough reaches the top of the paper (40 minutes to 1 hour).
Preheat oven to 200C. Once kulich has reached the top of the mould, transfer it to oven, reduce heat to 190C and bake for 10 minutes, then reduce oven to 180C and bake until kulich is dark and an inserted skewer withdraws clean (40-45 minutes). Cool kulich on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, for lemon icing, sift sugar into a bowl, add lemon juice and gradually mix in other liquid until a thick but pourable icing forms.
Once kulich is completely cool, remove panettone paper and glaze with lemon icing.
Scatter sprinkles on top of kulich and set aside until icing has set (30 minutes). Serve with paskha.
Kulich is best eaten the day of baking!
