Being a follower of many
American blogs, I get introduced to various sweet treats that I would normally
never encounter in a British bakery or cafe. One of them is these 7 layer cookies that I got to know through my
lovely American friend, which are still requested by various family members.
Another one, that I have been making almost as long are these blondies.
What are blondies? Well, I
asked the same question 3 years ago, and did what any normal person would do,
and consulted google. The first definition that came up was: A
blonde-haired person, typically a woman or a girl. Uhhh, not sure that was
the answer I was looking for. Thankfully, the next definition gave me a little
more clarity: a small square of dense, pale coloured cake, typically of a
butterscotch or vanilla flavour. Now that definition didn't sound too
bad. After a little more research I understood that a blondie is very much like
a brownie, but instead of the cocoa in a brownie, blondies are about the
vanilla, and they get their butterscotch-y flavour from brown sugar, whereas
brownies usually call for white sugar.
