FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
STORING THE Blondies
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The blondies stay good for up to five days if stored properly.
WHAT KIND OF SPRINKLES SHOULD I USE?
You can use any type of sprinkles you like. I personally prefer jimmies, these are the long sprinkles.
WHAT DOES SPOONED AND LEVELLED FLOUR MEAN?
Spooned and levelled flour refers to the way of measuring flour. To properly measure flour you should scoop spoonfuls of flour into your measuring cup and then scrape with a knife to level off the access. Scooping the measuring cup directly into your flour cause the flour to compress and getting more than the recipe calls for.
DO I NEED TO BRING MY EGGS TO ROOM TEMPERATURE?
Yes you do. Room temperature ingredients break down easier in the batter. This will give you a chewier bar.
If you forget to take your eggs out of the fridge, no worries! Just run them under warm tap water for a few minutes and this will bring them to room temperature.
