Ingredients
SERVINGS: 12 Serving(s)
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing skillet
- 1¼ cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
For Pecan Topping:
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2½ cups pecan halves
Preparation
1. Heat oven to 350°. Grease inside of a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk melted butter and brown sugar in a large bowl until combined. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Fold dry ingredients into butter mixture until just combined. Spread dough into prepared skillet.
3. To make pecan topping, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until milk solids become nutty and brown. Stir in sugar, salt, and pecans. Pour mixture over blondie dough and spread into an even layer. Transfer to oven and bake until edges are firm and pulling away from the sides of the skillet, 30–35 minutes. Let cool before slicing and serving with ice cream, if desired.
