Jammie Dodger Blondies
A few months ago, I posted a recipe for my tea and biscuits brownies and you all went mad for it! I don’t think I’ve ever had such a great reaction to a recipe and it has been so lovely to see so many people recreating it. Traybakes come with a sense of uncomplicated familiarity, which is EXACTLY what we need this time of year (and *especially* this year!). Blondies are the white chocolate version of brownies, and I couldn’t resist putting Jammie Dodger biscuits (and adorable mini dodgers!) on top. You could layer some jam into the blondies too!
To get those neat cuts, a sharp knife is key (I use Global knives) and gentle back-and-forth scoring motion to get through the biscuits. You’ll also want to use a ruler to get them as accurate as possible.
I’ve been working on a super fun secret project for the last couple of months which will be revealed very soon, and these cute jammie dodger blondies may or may not have something to do with it… Watch this space!
Jammie Dodger Blondies
Makes 16 blondies
Ingredients:
225g butter
225g light brown soft sugar
150g caster sugar
100g white chocolate, broken into cubes
3 medium free range eggs
300g plain flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
Jammie Dodgers and Mini Jammie Dodgers, to decorate
Method:
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Grease and line a 23 x 23cm square tin with baking parchment.
In a large saucepan, heat the butter, light brown sugar and caster sugar together until the mixture has completely melted.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes, then add the chunks of white chocolate. Stir until melted, then allow the mixture to cool to room temperature .
When the mixture is cool enough to touch comfortably, beat in the eggs. Add the flour and baking powder and stir to combine.
Scrape the mixture into the prepared tin using a spatula to spread it right to the edges, then arrange the biscuits over the top. Bake in the centre of the oven for 25–30 minutes or until the top is shiny and slightly cracked. Allow to cool completely, then cut into squares.
