Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted Challenge butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sea salt (optional: smoked sea salt)
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper.
-
Make the brown butter: In a small pan set over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until it turns brown and smells nutty, about 5 minutes. Try not to walk away from the butter, as it can go from brown to burned very quickly. Pour the brown butter into a large mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
-
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and ¾ teaspoons of the sea salt to combine.
-
Add both sugars to the brown butter and mix on medium speed with a hand mixer until well combined, about 2 minutes.
-
Add the eggs and beat for another 2 minutes, until the mixture has lightened in color.
-
With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture, mix just until the flour is fully mixed in.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and sprinkle with remaining sea salt.
