Ingredients

Scale

Blondies

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup diced fresh strawberries

Strawberry Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted (measure before sifting)
  • 1 Tbsp strawberry puree (from about 2 large strawberries)
  • About 1 Tbsp lemon juice (adjust to thin glaze as needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare Pan: Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving long edges to help lift out the blondies later.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Egg and Lemon Juice: Beat in the egg until fully combined, then pour in the lemon juice. The lemon juice might not fully incorporate at this stage, which is normal.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until no dry flour remains.
  6. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the diced strawberries into the batter, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Spread Batter: Transfer the thick batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly using a large offset spatula for a smooth surface.
  8. Bake Blondies: Bake for 30-35 minutes until edges turn golden and center is set but still moist. Insert a toothpick to check doneness; it should come out moist but not wet. Avoid over-baking to prevent drying out.
  9. Cool Blondies: Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Prepare Strawberry Puree: Trim strawberries for the glaze and puree them in a small food processor. Strain through a fine sieve to obtain 1 tablespoon of smooth puree.
  11. Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and lemon juice until smooth and spreadable. Adjust consistency by adding more sugar or lemon juice as needed.
  12. Glaze Blondies: Spread the glaze evenly over the cooled blondies and allow it to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor in both the batter and glaze.
  • Do not over-bake the blondies to ensure a moist and tender texture.
  • Allow the blondies to cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.
  • The lemon juice in the batter provides a subtle tang without curdling the mixture.
  • If parchment paper is unavailable, lightly grease the pan but slicing and removal will be trickier.
