ingredients

Skillet blondie

  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 3 ounces chopped white bakers chocolate
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 room temperature egg
  • 3/4 cup gluten free baking flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Method

Skillet blondie

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350.

  • Step 2

    In a small (6.5") cast iron skillet, begin to brown butter on low heat. This means melting, and slowly cooking the butter until the milk solids separate, and turn brown. Careful not to burn, gently stir and scrape bottom of pan almost constantly. Remove from heat if butter begins to brown too quickly. Your cast iron will hold some residual heat.

  • Step 3

    Once butter has browned, add white chocolate and stir to melt and combine.

  • Step 4

    Add sugars, stirring to dissolve.

  • Step 5

    Add vanilla and salt.

  • Step 6

    Remove from heat, and allow to cool. This step is IMPORTANT.

  • Step 7

    Once mixture has cooled, for probably about five minutes... quickly whisk in egg. You want the mixture to be cool, and egg room temp. so your egg doesn't scramble! Nobody likes scrambled eggs in their skillet blondie... nobody.

  • Step 8

    Mix in flour, and baking powder.

  • Step 9

    Bake for 25-30 minutes, until edges are set and blondie is golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving, topped with jam and ice cream.

ingredients

Peach jam

  • 4 sliced peaches
  • 1/2 lemon, zested
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Peach jam

  • Step 1

    Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan.

  • Step 2

    Cook on low heat, keeping at a light simmer... smash with wooden spoon as jam cooks to release peach juices and break down large pieces. A few hunks are okay, if you like a textured jam like I do :)

  • Step 3

    Allow to cool slightly before topping blondie. Sprinkle everything with flaky salt and serve!
