Blondies

White Chocolate & Pistachio Blondies based on Tom Kerridge’s recipe published in Metro 20-10-15 and adapted for a Kenwood Cooking Chef and what I had in the cupboards

300g plain flour
2tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
100g nuts: pistachio, walnut, pecan, brazil, almond
200g white chocolate
50g sesame seeds
100g butter
50g margarine, the one that brings babies
300g golden caster sugar
40ml rapeseed oil
40ml sesame oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla paste

Mix together flour, baking powder, sesame seeds and salt in a bowl, park

Put nuts into plastic bag and bash with end of rolling pin, add to flour
Melt butter and marge in mixer set to 70°C
Add beaten eggs, rapeseed oil, sesame oil, vanilla paste, chocolate bit by bit, beat for a couple of minutes
Add sugar
Gradually add the flour
Pour into greased 250mm square tin
Bake Gas 4 (180°C) for 30 minutes, test with skewer and put back till done, mine took 40, a bit of smearing on the skewer is ok. I don't have a 250 x 250 tin so I winged it with a bit of foil, big roasting tin and a bread tin as a spacer

Remove from oven, leave in tin for 10 minutes then cool on rack, the middle sunk and it broke a bit

Cut into cubes
