- 153 g all purpose flour
- 2 g baking powder
- 4 g salt
- 113 g butter
- 192 g brown sugar
- 50 g egg
- 3 g vanilla

Browned Butter
Cut butter into small chunks and place over low heat (see notes above for detailed instructions)
Once butter has melted and stops splattering, gently swirl or whisk the butter to circulate the milk solids as it begins to brown.
Keep a close eye on the solids and the milk fat, when it reaches an amber brown and has a nutty aroma, remove from heat and pour into container to cool.
Bar Batter
Combine cooled (to the touch) butter and brown sugar in large bowl. Mix until smooth.
Add egg, vanilla, and milk. Mix completely.
Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt, mix just until combined.
Fold in bacon and butterscotch chips until distributed throughout batter
Using large scoop (3 Tbsp approx), scoop into wells of Brownie Pan, or spread into 8X8 dish.
Bake until edges are golden brown and center is just set. (allow for longer time if using 8X8 dish)
Cool completely in pan, then remove to cooling rack. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
