Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees (F).
  2. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, lightly spray the parchment paper and any exposed pan with non-stick spray; set aside.
  3. 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!
  4. 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!
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining salt and chopped pistachios.
  6. 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.
