Ingredients
  

  • 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
  • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 Tbsp strawberry puree (from 2 large strawberries)
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice (to thin the glaze)

Equipment

  • 1 9-inch Square Baking Pan Line with parchment paper
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Spatula For spreading the batter
  • 1 Small Food Processor For pureeing the strawberries

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper with long edges. This is optional but will help you lift out the blondies for easy glazing and slicing later.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg. When the egg is fully incorporated, beat in the lemon juice. The lemon juice will probably not completely incorporate at this point, that's ok.
  3. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, and add to the wet ingredients, mixing until no more dry flour is present.
  4. Gently fold in the diced strawberries. Spread the mixture into your pan and spread out as evenly as possible.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, just until starting to turn golden around the edges and the center is set. Let cool on a rack.
  6. Trim the strawberries for the glaze and puree in a small food processor. Strain the puree to get 1 Tbsp of puree. Whisk together the sugar, puree, and lemon juice until no lumps remain.
  7. Spread the glaze over the cooled blondies. Let the glaze set before slicing.

Notes

Enjoy these delightful blondies with a balance of sweet strawberries and tangy lemon!
