Instructions
- Place the butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Cook over medium heat until the butter melts and begins to foam.
- Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until brown specks begin to form at the bottom of the pan and the butter has a nutty aroma.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Add the brown sugar, and stir until combined. Allow to cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Add the eggs and vanilla to the cooled butter mixture, and stir until combined.
- Add the flour, baking power, and salt, and mix just until combined. (Add the flour in portions and stir gently to prevent a mess.)
- Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Spread the batter evenly in the pan. If desired, sprinkle the top with a pinch or two of coarse salt.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until the blondie is golden brown and a pick inserted into the center comes out clean. (Be sure not to over-bake.)
- Serve warm with ice cream and caramel or chocolate sauce, if desired.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can transfer the brown butter to a mixing bowl and mix the batter in that bowl. Then just transfer the mixed batter to the skillet and bake.
