Equipment

  • 9-inch square baking pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Food Processor
  • Strainer

Ingredients

blondies

  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour use the fluff/scoop/level method for measuring
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup diced fresh strawberries

glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar unsifted weight, sifted
  • 1 Tbsp strawberry puree you'll need about 2 large strawberries, instructions below
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice about, or just enough to thin the glaze to a spreadable consistency

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Line a 9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper with long edges. This will help you lift out the blondies for easy glazing and slicing later.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg.
  • When the egg is fully incorporated, beat in the lemon juice. The lemon juice will probably not completely incorporate at this point, that's ok.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, and add to the wet ingredients, mixing until no more dry flour is present.
  • Gently fold in the diced strawberries. Spread the mixture into your pan and spread out as evenly as possible. The dough is thick, so take your time.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, just until starting to turn golden around the edges and the center is set. A toothpick inserted in the center will be moist but not wet. Don't over-bake these, or they will dry out. Let cool on a rack.
  • Trim the strawberries for the glaze and puree in a small food processor. Strain the puree through a small strainer to get 1 Tbsp of puree. Whisk together the sugar, puree, and lemon juice until no lumps remain. If your glaze is too thin, add a touch more sugar. If it's too thick, add more lemon juice.
  • Spread the glaze over the cooled blondies. Let the glaze set before slicing.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider adding vanilla extract to the batter.
