LibraryLover Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 10 yr old wants to make box brownies, mother wishes to enjoy the clean kitchen for a bit. Mother, hoping to buy time tells child, 'We only have olive oil. I'll go buy vegetable oil later". Child says 'It just needs a fat binder, I can melt butter". Thwarted again!

lionfamily1999 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 They'll tast SO much better. If you use milk instead of water they end up really thick and creamy (it's hard to explain). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh! I'll tell her about the milk. She did add a bit of cinnamon and some vanilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Dh used to be very secretive about making brownies. He told everyone (who wanted to know why his brownies from a box tasted so good) that the secret ingredient was bacon grease :lol: My mother can tell you, bacon grease is not a good substitute for veggie oil. Then, he let me in on his secret and I told everyone :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5wolfcubs Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Olive oil works in brownies, too. :) Just in case you're out of butter next time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
