Strawberry Blondies

Instructions

3. Whisk together the flour and freeze dried strawberry powder, in a separate bowl.
4. Melt the butter and chocolate in a heat proof bowl on top of a saucepan with a small layer of water in it, on medium heat. Stir until the butter and chocolate have melted completely and are well combined.

When are they done?

You'll know the blondies are done when you insert a skewer or knife into the brownies, pull it out and only a few moist crumbs stick to it. If there's wet batter attached: place it back in the oven.
