Brown Butter Blondies

•Soy-free

these are similar to a brownie in texture but are chocolate-free. instead,

they are flavored with brown sugar and nutty brown butter, which give

these blondies the rich taste of butterscotch.

Classic Vodka Gimlet

•Soy-free •Dairy-free •Nut-free

tart and not too sweet, a vodka gimlet is my go-to cocktail when i’m out for drinks

and want to keep it simple. it is really easy to make at home, too!

6 tablespoons (84 g) unsalted

butter

1 cup (225 g) packed brown sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup (120 g) liv’s Flour blend

(page 15) or ½ cup (60 g)

cornstarch plus ¼ cup (30 g)

almond flour plus ¼ cup (30 g)

oat flour

1 cup (110 g) chopped walnuts

or pecans

1 egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 ̊F (180 ̊C, or gas mark 4). Line an 8 x 8-inch (20

x 20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, grease the parchment paper,

and set aside.

Place the butter in a small saucepan and cook over medium-high heat,

swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter begins to brown and turns

fragrant and nutty, about 5 minutes. Add the brown sugar and stir until the

sugar is dissolved, about 20 more seconds. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Meanwhile, whisk together the salt, flour blend, and nuts. Add the

cooled butter mixture, egg, and vanilla, and stir until thoroughly combined.

Pour into the greased pan and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until just set. Let

cool completely, then lift out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut

into 12 pieces and serve.

Yield: 12 servings

Chef’s Tip

Add chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, or crushed chocolate-covered

toffee candy to make these even more indulgent!

3 tablespoons (45 ml) vodka of

your choice

1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly

squeezed lime juice

1 teaspoon powdered sugar

1 lime wedge

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the vodka, lime juice, and powdered

sugar. Shake thoroughly. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with the

lime wedge.

Yield: 1 serving

Chef’s Tip

Replace the vodka with gin for a plain old gimlet.
