Honey Cashew Squares
Ingredients
For square base:
2/3 cup cake flour
2 oz butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
For honey cashew topping:
1 cup cashew, chopped, toasted
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
2 oz butter
1/3 cup whipping cream
Preparation
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place flour, butter, brown sugar in a large bowl. Use your hands to break the butter into the flour until they’re evenly distributed and resemble the size of small peas.
2
Add egg into the flour mixture and stir until even.
3
Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish and place the base mixture in. Flatten the base with the back of a spoon. Bake for 25 minutes until the base turns golden.
4
While baking the base, prepare for the honey cashew topping. First, chop the cashew. Then place brown sugar, honey, butter and whipping cream in a saucepan.
5
When the baking is done, take out the base from your oven and let it cool down. Bring everything in the saucepan to a boil and then simmer for 3-4 minutes, uncovered, or until the color of the honey mixture turns caramel. Turn off the heat and quickly stir in the chopped cashew.
6
Slowly place the honey cashew topping on top of the base in the same baking dish. Use the back of a big spoon to flat it out.
7
Bake for another 8 minutes over 350°F.
8
Allow a few hours cooling time before cutting into 16 squares.
