Maple Walnut "Brownies"
Because if I don't write it down, I'll forget. They're not real brownies because they don't have chocolate in, but "blondies" is a silly name.
Pre-heat oven to 180 C, Gas 5.
Melt 8 ounces of marge or unsalted butter.
While butter is melting, put into mixing bowl:
14 ounces of brown sugar (no really)
1 tablespoon maple syrup
When butter is melted, mix it in with a wooden spoon. When mixed, add two eggs. When eggs are mixed, sift in 8 ounces of SR (patisserie) flour. On top of the flour, add a big handful of broken walnut bits. (Or you could use pecans, but Z says he doesn't like pecans, and actually walnuts are cheaper.) Fold in with a metal spoon, and pour into a rectangular oven dish.
Bake in centre of oven for half an hour, until solid and a knife comes out cleanly.
This is my favourite kind of recipe, really easy and ridiculously delicious. Also, walnuts are good for you. They're at their absolute best about half an hour after they've come out of the oven when they are still a bit warm, so if you make them so they come out of the oven just before dinner they make an excellent dessert. They're also pretty good cold. If there's only one of you, you can make half this much if you have a half sized oven dish. They're vegetarian, and if you used pyrex dishes and a kosher wooden spoon (or paint stirrer) they could easily be kosher.
