Description

Toasting the pecans directly in the browning butter does two jobs in one. It browns the butter and also crisps the pecans at the same time.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Coat a 9 X 13” baking pan with nonstick spray or shortening.
Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium low heat with pecans until brown flecks appear in the butter, and the pecans are toasted, about 15 minutes. Immediately strain pecans from butter through a fine mesh sieve.
Chill butter in a shallow dish until firm ) or freeze until firm, about 20 minutes). Set pecans aside.
Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl; set aside.
Cream brown sugar and chilled browned butter in a bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add golden syrup and continue mixing until incorporated. Mix in eggs and vanilla until combined. Add flour mixture and reserved pecans; mix just until combined.
Spread batter in to prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Cool blondies to room temperature before serving.
