Step by step

The blondies keep for up to 5 days in an airtight container, or freeze well.
- Place the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat and melt until the milk solids have almost burnt and it has turned a deep amber colour. Remove from the heat and pour into a large bowl to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan 170°C, gas 5 and grease and line a traybake tin (about 23 x 30cm) with baking paper.
- Add the sugar to the melted brown butter, then crack in the eggs one at a time, stirring after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Tip in the flour, baking powder, salt, spices and orange zest and begin to fold. Finally, stir in the mincemeat.
- Tip the blondie mixture into the baking tin and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and set (but not completely cooked through). Remove from the oven and leave in the tray until completely cool.
- Serve in chunks with huge scoops of ice cream, custard, or forget the add-ons and eat it by itself.
