Do not let it brown much, but a little browning will happen). Set aside. In small bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In large bowl, mix sugar, extract, and eggs until smooth. Beat in white chocolate. Add flour mixture gradually; beat smooth. Pour into an 8x8 square pan or better, a drop-bottom tart pan (greased). Bake in preheated oven (350 degrees) for 25 minutes. Serve with a flourish. Rich but not too sweet. Cribbed most of this one off the back of the white baking bar box. Kalpana *****
