[Griogair] Shona, dè tha thu gu bhith bèiceireachd an-diugh?

[Shona Masson] Uill, an-diugh tha mi a' dol a dh'fheuchainn air blondies, malted blondies, tha mi a' dol a thòiseachadh leis a' theòclaid, 's tha uisge agam an seo, uisge teth, is tha mi dìreach a' dol gan leaghadh.

[Griogair] Dè tha na teòclaid geal, dè tha seo?

[Shona Masson] 'S e ceud gram a tha sin, agus leis a sin tha mi a' cur ceud agus fichead 's a còig gram de dh'ìm, so tha sin a' dol a-staigh cuideachd, 's tha iad uabhasach fhèin milis.

[Shona Masson] Tha mi a' smaoineachadh gu bheil e deiseil, a h-uile rud air a leaghadh a-nis. Tha mi a' dol ga thoirt bhon a' phana, agus dìreach ga fhàgail airson beagan mhionaidean airson 's nach bi e cho teth nuair a chuireas mi na rudan eile a-staigh.

[Griogair] Tha seo, can, air fuarachadh beagan. Is tha dà cheud 's fichead 's a còig gram de shiùcar ruadh, siùcar bog ruadh, agus tha sin a' dol a-staigh. Agus, tha cuideachd…

[Griogair] Gu leòr siùcar ann an shin.

[Shona Masson] Tha. Ach tha cuideachd trì uighean, air am bualadh. Tha sin a' dol a-staigh cuideachd. Agus… tha spàin-tì de vanilla a' dol a-staigh cuideachd. Is tha mi a' dol ga mheasgachadh còmhla.

[Shona Masson] So tha mi a' smaoineachadh gu bheil sin air thighinn còmhla a-nis. So, Griogair an toir thu an t-sìoltachan dhomh an toiseach?

[Griogair] Seo a-nis.

[Shona Masson] Tha mi a' dol a chur flùr 's rudan ann. So, cuiridh mi flùr a-staigh an toiseach, so nam b' urrainn dhut sin a thoirt dhomh. Taing. So seo, tha ceud, uill anns a' bhobhla seo, tha ceud gram de flùr plain, agus leth-cheud gram de flùr self-raising còmhla. So tha sin a' dol a-staigh.

[Shona Masson] Agus tha an pùdar malted mar gum biodh cuideachd. Tha ceithir spàin-bhùird agam a thighinn an seo, tha sin dìreach toirt blas a bharrachd dhan na blondies. Gun a bhith a' cur cus… gun a bhith ga bhualadh cus, really. Sin trì fichead gram, dìreach teòclaid àbhaisteach air a ghearradh.

[Shona Masson] Agus an uair sin, an rud mu dheireadh, sin na buill beaga teòclaid an sin.

[Griogair]… a tha seo.

[Shona Masson] Agus tha mi a' dol gan cur a-staigh. Tha mi air feadhainn dhiubh a ghearradh, feadhainn dhiubh fhàgail slàn mar gum biodh. Tha sin a' toirt beagan texture 's crunch beag really actually dhan na cèiceachean.

[Griogair] Seo a bhios math, coltas math nach eil agus tha an tiona, tha iad airson a h-uile càil ann an sheo?

[Shona Masson] Tha, yeah so, dìreach tiona àbhaisteach beag no… Tha mi a' smaoineachadh gur e rudeigin mar fichead centimetre neo mun size sin.

[Shona Masson] Tha mi dìreach ga chur a-staigh… dhan treidhe.

[Griogair] Bidh e a' dol dhan àmhainn?

[Shona Masson] Bithidh, bithidh. Tha an àmhainn aig… uill, 's e fan àmhainn a th' agamsa 's tha mi a' smaoineachadh gu bheil e aig ceud 's leth cheud degrees mar gum biodh. Agus bidh e a' dol a-staigh dhan an sin airson 's docha trithead 's a còig neo dà fhichead mionaid neo rudeigin mar sin.

[Griogair] Tha Shona a' feitheamh gus am bi na blondies fuar, an uair sin gam frasadh le teòclaid gheal air a leaghadh agus buill teòclaid air am pronnadh.

[Griogair] Amazing!

[Shona Masson] Tha na sùilean uabhasach toilichte agad.

[Griogair] Tha blas am malt a' tighinn troimhe cuideachd.

[Shona Masson] A bheil? Tha sin math.

[Griogair] Chan eil seo ro mhilis.

[Shona Masson] Tha sin math.

[Griogair] 'S tha iad a' coimhead àlainn.

[Shona Masson] Tha, tha mi a' smaoineachadh gu bheil iad a' coimhead gu math tarraingeach.

[Griogair] Shona, what are you going to bake today?

[Shona Masson] Well, today I am going to try blondies, malted blondies, I am going to start with the chocolate, and I have water here, hot water and I am just going to melt it.

 [Gregor] What is this white chocolate, what is this?

[Shona Masson] That's 100 grams and with that I am adding 125 grams of butter, so that goes in too, and they are is awfully sweet.

[Shona Masson] I think that it is it ready, everything is melted now. I am just taking it from the pan and just leaving it for a few minutes so that it won't be so hot when I put the other things in.

[Gregor] This has, you'd say, cooled a bit. There is 225 grams of brown sugar, soft brown sugar and that goes in. And, also ...

[Gregor] There is plenty sugar there.

[Shona Masson] Yes. But also three eggs, beaten. That goes in too. And... there is a teaspoon of vanilla goes in too. And I am going to mix it together.

[Shona Masson] So, I think that's come together now. So, Gregor, will you give me that sieve to begin?

[Gregor] Here now.

[Shona Masson] I am going to put flour and things in . So, I'll out flour in to begin, so If you could give that to me. Thanks. So, here, there's 100, well, in this bowl, there's 100 grams of plain flour and 50 grams of self-raising flour together. So that goes in.

[Shona Masson] And the malted powder as it was too. I have four tablespoons coming in here, that just brings extra flavour to... the blondies. Without putting too much ... without beating too much, really. That's 60 grams, of just normal chocolate which has been cut.

[Shona Masson] And then, the last thing, that's those wee chocolate balls

[Gregor]... that are here.

[Shona Masson] And I am going to put them in. Some of them have been cut, some of them have been left whole as it was. That gives a bit of texture and wee crunch really actually to the cakes.

[Gregor] This will be good, good appearance and the tin, everything goes in here.

[Shona Masson] Yes, yeah so, just a wee normal tin or... I think it's about something like 20 centimetres or about that size.

[Shona Masson] I just put it in... to the tray.

 [Gregor] It goes in the oven?

[Shona Masson] It does, it does. The oven is at ... well, it's a fan oven that I have and I think it's at 150 degrees as it was. And that goes in there for maybe 150 degrees as it was. And it goes in there for maybe 35, or 40 minutes or about that.

[Gregor] Shona waits until the blondies are cold, then sprays them with melted white chocolate and crushed chocolate balls.

[Gregor] Amazing!

[Shona Masson] You have very happy eyes!

[Gregor] The flavour of the malt comes through too.

[Shona Masson] Does it? That's good

[Gregor] This isn't too sweet.

 [Shona Masson] That's good.

[Gregor] And they look lovely.

[Shona Masson] Yes. I think they look really attractive.
