Equipment
8x8 inch square baking tin
Balloon whisk

mixing bowls
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180C / 350F / 160C fan forced. Line an 8×8 inch square baking tin with baking paper
Wash and dry the strawberries well, then cut off the tops and dice into small pieces - you should have roughly 3/4 cup of diced strawberries.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar and lemon zest and press together between your fingertips to release the lemon oil.
Add the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk with a balloon whisk to combine.
Make a well in the centre and crack in the eggs, and add the melted butter, lemon juice and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
Swap to a spatula and fold in the diced strawberries.
Pour into prepared tin and level out with your spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is dry and the edges are starting to turn golden.
Cool in the tin for at least 45 minutes before making the icing.
FOR THE STRAWBERRY ICING
Puree the strawberries in a blender, then push them through a strainer to remove seeds and any larger pieces of pulp.
Mix the puree with the icing sugar until you have a smooth icing, pour over the cooled blondies. Let it set slightly before cutting into slices.
Notes
I use a standard Australian 20ml tablespoon (= 4 teaspoons worldwide)
All ovens vary – always test for doneness 3-5 minutes before the recipe suggests
For best results, you should always weigh ingredients like flour and sugar. Kitchen scales are relatively cheap but if you can’t weigh the ingredients, use the spoon and level method (don’t scoop).
