Lemon Blondies

To me Spring months are all about citrus bright and fruity desserts that seem lighter than the richer, chocolatey alternatives, but as the weather as been a bit unsteady this week -  very hot days suddenly replaced by rainy ones -  I decided to incorporate this super flavoured white chocolate with hints of strawberry into these delicious, dense, moist  lemony blondies and the result was absolutely satisfying.

Ingredients:

• flour 1 1/2 cups
• 1 1/2 sugar cups
• 1 teaspoon salt 
• 1/2  cup  softened unsalted butter
•  4 eggs
•  zest of 1 large lemon
•  juice of 1 lemon
• 1 white chocolate with strawberry nuggets
• brown sugar for dusting

 Preheat oven to 180 degrees. In a bowl mix the flour, sugar and salt. Add butter, eggs, lemon juice and zest and beat with electric mixer until all ingredients are well combined. Break the chocolate into large pieces and add them into the dough. Place in a  square pan greased with butter, lined with parchment paper and greased with butter again . Bake for about 30m.

Ingredientes:

• 1 1/2 canecas farinha
• 1 1/2 canecas de açúcar
• 1 colher de chá de sal
• 1/2 caneca de manteiga amolecida sem sal
• 4 ovos
• raspa de 1 limão grande
• sumo de 1 limão
• 1 chocolate branco com pepitas de morango
• açúcar amarelo para polvilhar

 Pré aquecer o forno a 180º. Numa taça misturar a farinha, o açúcar e o sal. Juntar a manteiga, os ovos, o sumo do limão e a raspa e bater com a batedeira até todos os ingredientes estarem bem ligados. Partir o chocolate em bocados grandes e envolver na massa. Colocar num tabuleiro quadrado untado com manteiga, forrado com papel vegetal e de novo untado com manteiga.  Levar ao forno cerca de 30m.
