These cake-like butterscotch/vanilla bars are the light alternative to dark brownies. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons margarine or 6 tablespoons butter |
1 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 large eggs |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups pecans, coarsely chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 13 x9 metal baking pan. Line pan with foil; grease foil.
2. In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, melt margarine or butter over low heat. Remove saucepan from heat. With wooden spoon, stir in brown sugar and vanilla, then stir in eggs until well blended. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into sugar mixture just until blended. Stir in chopped pecans.
3. Spread batter evenly in pan. Bake 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from edge comes out clean. Do NOT overbake; blondies will become firm as they cool. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
4. When cool, transfer with foil to cutting board. Cut blondies lengthwise into 4 strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 6 pieces.
