Instructions
  1. Brown the butter: Cut your butter evenly into cubes and line them on the bottom of a large saucepan. Over medium heat, melt the butter. The butter will bubble and splatter a bit, but as the water escapes, you’ll see the bubbles get smaller and the butter will get foamy and start to darken in the middle. This should take about 5 minutes but depending on the butter it may take more or less time. Remove the pan from the heat and swirl for 15 seconds. It should start to smell a bit nutty and the color of the butter will be noticeably darker. Pour the butter into a small bowl or a glass dish. There will be brown grainy bits at the bottom, you want to scrape all of that out of the pot–that’s where most of the flavor comes from. Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to cool down. You should have about 280 grams of brown butter from the 339 you started with.
  2. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9″ x 13″ pan and line with parchment paper so that the paper sticks out from the sides of the pan (for easy lifting). Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk tougher the slightly cooled brown butter and the light brown sugar. Whisk until fully combined and fluffy. One at a time, whisk in the eggs until combined; the mix should be lighter in color. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
  5. Using a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon, stir in the dry ingredients until fully combined. You should have a thick mix.
  6. Transfer to the prepared pan, spreading evenly with the rubber spatula.
  7. In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and remaining 1 tsp of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle over the top of the blondie batter.
  8. Bake on the center rack for 20-23 minutes. The edges should start to firm up and the center will still be just a little bit wobbly if you give the pan a slight shake.
  9. Leave to cool completely in the pan. Using the parchment paper, lift the blondies from the pan. Slice into 24 squares.
