Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅔ cups unsalted butter
- 1 cups light brown soft sugar
- 1 egg (large)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups plain/all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch (cornflour in the UK)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 3 mince pies
Instructions
- Preheat oven: 180°C / 160°C (fan) / Gas Mark 4 / 350°F
- Melt the butter for 30-50secs in the microwave and beat in the sugar until smooth and thick.
- Thoroughly beat in the egg, orange and vanilla extracts and salt until well combined.
- Sieve in the flour, cornflour and baking powder, stirring until just combined.
- In a lined 8inch square pan, pour half of the blondie mix smoothing evenly, before breaking up the mince pies into 5-7 pieces each and spacing these evenly across the mix.
- Pour the remaining blondie mix over the top, smoothing gently to cover the mince pie pieces.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25mins, until the top is lightly golden and no longer wobbles. Allow your blondies to cool before removing from the tin and cutting into squares.
