Brown Butter Miso Mochi Blondies

No reviews yet

You can find butter mochi on practically every corner in Hawaii—it’s that ubiquitous because, well, it’s that good. For my version, I’ve browned the butter for a layer of toasted nutty flavor and added miso, which balances out the sweetness with its signature umami.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° with a rack in the center position. Butter a 9×13" baking dish and line it with parchment paper, leaving a 1" overhang on the long sides.

  2. In a small saucepan, melt 8 Tbsp. (1 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat and cook until golden nutty brown and fragrant, 5–6 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in 1 Tbsp. white or yellow miso (it won’t completely dissolve but will ultimately get fully combined in later mixing—so don’t stress!). Transfer to a large bowl and set aside to cool.
