“Brownies grab the spotlight,” says Auzerais Bellamy of Blondery, “but blondies are more versatile, flavorful, and interesting.” Auzerais has loved blondies since childhood, and spent 10 years testing and refining her original recipe—a pecan and salted caramel square that’s still her bestseller. Before launching her blondie-centric business, Auzerais attended pastry schools in Paris and Rhode Island and worked at the prestigious Bouchon Bakery in California and New York. She eventually left the traditional pastry world, frustrated by the lack of diversity and career opportunities. 

Auzerais chats with host Jessie Sheehan about achieving the perfect blondie texture, her preference for melting butter versus creaming it, using your senses to test for doneness, and the latest on her bakery in Peekskill, New York. She also walks Jessie through her Honey-Date Pistachio Blondie recipe. To bake along, click here for the recipe.
