Butterscotch Blondies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 13- by 9-inch metal baking pan.

On waxed paper, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. In 3-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs; stir until well mixed. Stir in flour mixture and pecans just until blended. Spread batter in pan.

Bake blondie 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from edge comes out almost clean. Do not overbake; blondie will firm as it cools. Cool in pan on wire rack.

When cool, cut blondie lengthwise into 4 strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 6 pieces.
