  6. Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients till everything moistens. Do not over mix.
  7. Fold chopped strawberries in the batter using a spatula.
  8. Pour the batter in the baking pan and spread as evenly as possible.
  9. Bake it in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes on 180 degree celsius until the toothpick inserted comes out clean. Do not over bake or else the blondies will turn hard.
  10. For the glaze whip washed and hulled strawberries in the jar and make a puree.
  11. Pass the strawberry puree through a sieve and take out its juice.
  12. Whip together powdered icing sugar , lemon juice and strawberry juice. Apply the glaze on top of the blondies and let it set.
  13. After the glaze has set slice these blondies into 12 squares. Serve them with a cup of Coffee or Tea.
