Blondies instead of brownies?

[Flameon]

Flameon, the only problem with using clarified butter in a recipe that calls for the normal stuff, is that you'll add WAY too much oil and not enough water (since butter contains some water and proteins and is not 100% oil)

Greenmeanie, you make a valid point.

Just to clarify though, the reason I'm advocating Ghee/clarified butter in this case is simply because it's a far better THC extraction medium than simply using just butter.

For a recipe of this type (and indeed for the majority of cannabis cooking recipes), you should extract the THC First, then add the rest of the ingredients as directed.

For this recipe (as you say) 8tbsp of pure ghee would (perhaps) make it a little too fatty, so bearing in mind that the water content of regular butter is around 15% I'd be inclined to make the equivalent of 7tbsps of cannabutter using ghee first, then simply add 1 tbsp of water to the recipe during the mixing stage to keep the ratios the same.
