(apparently these are also called ‘blondies’) 

Ingredients

  • 225g caster sugar
  • 4 free-range eggs
  • 225g melted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 150g plain flour, sifted
  • 225g white chocolate, chopped

Preparation method
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease a 20cm/8in square cake tin with butter.
  2. For the blondie;, in a bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy. Beat in the melted butter a little at a time, making sure each addition of butter is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  3. Add the flour and carefully fold it into the mixture using a metal spoon.
  4. Add the chopped white chocolate and macadamia nuts and carefully fold them into the mixture.
  5. Spoon the blondie batter into the prepared cake tin and shake gently until level. Transfer the tin to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
