Yield: 14 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
2/3 cup: Macadamia nuts,
1 cup: Flour, plus 2 tbsp.
3/4 tsp: Baking powder,
1/4 tsp: Salt,
1/4 cup: Unsalted butter,
1/2 cup: Sugar,
2 tbsp: Water,
9 ounce: White chocolate,
2 large: Eggs,
1 tsp: Vanilla extract,
Directions:
Recipe by: the California Culinary Academy Preparation Time: 0:50 1.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. If macadamia nuts are salted, blanch in
boiling water to cover for 30 seconds to remove salt. Rinse under cold
running water and transfer to a baking sheet. Toast in a 325 degrees
F oven until golden brown. Let cool, then coarsely chop. If nuts are
unsalted, just toast and chop.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Place butter, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan over low heat.
Cut 6 ounces of the white chocolate into large (1- or 2-inch) chunks
and the remaining 3 ounces into small (1/4-inch to 1/2-inch) chips.
4. When butter has melted, remove from heat, add the 6 ounces white
chocolate chunks and stir until chocolate melts.
5. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until just
blended. Stir in the 3 ounces of white chocolate chips and the nuts.
6. Spread batter in a greased 8- or 9-inch square baking pan. Bake 30
to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out
clean. Cool on a wire rack, then cut into squares.
* Timesaver Tip: Brownie batter can be made ahead and frozen before
baking. Line an 8- or 9-inch square pan with heavy-duty foil. Spoon
batter into pan. Freeze batter, uncovered, until frozen solid. Remove
from pan and wrap tightly. Label and date package. Freeze at 0
degrees F up to 4 weeks. To bake, peel foil from batter and place in
greased pan. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven until skewer
inserted in center comes out clean (40 to 50 minutes).
Microwave Version: Chocolate may be melted in a microwave oven. Place
butter and chocolate in a small glass bowl. Microwave on 50% power
for 1 minute, stir, then continue microwaving 1 to 3 minutes more.
Stir until smooth. Do not overheat or chocolate will scorch around
edges and wont blend smoothly. Stir in sugar and water and continue
with step 5.
