Ingredients
 

  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted until lightly browned
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons Don Victor Honey
  • 1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons flaky sea salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup shelled salted pistachios, roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees (F).
  • Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, lightly spray the parchment paper and any exposed pan with non-stick spray; set aside.
  • Place butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; cook until butter has completely melted and *just begins to brown. Be sure not to over brown your butter here!
  • In a large bowl combine browned butter, brown sugar and honey; beat until smooth. Add egg and yolk and whisk until combined. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the salt and all of the flour; don't overmix!
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining salt and chopped pistachios.
  • Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until edges are set, the top is golden, but the center is still a little soft. Allow bars to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove the bars and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Once cool, cut into small squares and serve.
