Impish Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Diva wants to make brownies, I can't find my cookbook. Anyone have a great brownie recipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaners Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Usually it's on the back of the box. ;) (Yes, brownies from a box count as scratch cooking in my house.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLDebbie Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Try this one. The rich, chocolate flavor is wonderful. I ususlaly use half regular cocoa and half Dutch processed cocoa. Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Darn it, we don't own a sifter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne in CA Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 No need to sift if you whisk dry ingredients vigorously with a whisk. I do it all the time because I don't like to get the extra bowl dirty from sifting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLDebbie Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I don't ever sift anything (too lazy). They still taste great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 My standby recipe is 2 cups sugar 1/2 cup butter 10 tablespoons cocoa Mix together 4 eggs 1/2 teas. Salt 1 teas. Vanilla 1 cup flour Mix well I add a cup of chocolate chips at this stage if I want them to be extra special. 9x12 pan and 325 F. Not sure how long. I start checking at 20 minutes or so. I like to line the pan with baking paper. Easy clean up and they cut really nice for taking places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forty-two Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I make the Baker's one bowl brownie recipe. Melt 4oz of unsweetened chocolate with 3/4 c butter (if you do this in the microwave, as I do, you want to just heat it until the butter is melted and then stir till the chocolate is completely melted). Add 2c of sugar. I then heat it in the microwave for 1-2m on 70% power, to help the sugar dissolve more (helps get that nice flaky crust on top). Add 1tsp vanilla (I use more like 1T), and three eggs. Add 1c flour (I use whole wheat - that makes them healthy ;)). Bake at 350 in an aluminum foil lined pan, greased. I bake for about half the time the recipe says - 17 min and they are just perfect. Not remotely overdone, yet not raw, and once they've cooled they stay together great.

MrsMommy Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I love this recipe. Not the best brownies I've ever had (ironically, those were at the hospital where my children were born), but the best I've ever made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onceuponatime Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 This is what I do: Mix 1 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/3 cup cocoa, 1 TBSP coffee (not grounds- coffee that has been made in a coffee pot), with a whisk until smooth and glossy. Stir in 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour. Bake in 8 inch pan for 25 min. in a preheated 350 degree oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippen Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Our favorite is this Nestle cocoa brownie recipe, only using Hershey's cocoa and real butter: http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/29519/Chewy-Cocoa-Brownies/detail.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
