Brownies Recipe
Ingredients for Chocolate Brownies and My Favorite Brownie Recipe
I am getting requests, some quite desperate, for sharing more chocolate brownie recipes. Since I don’t want to be responsible for sending those of you who made the requests into deep therapy, I’m sharing best brownie recipe, made from Haute Chocolate. And I just found a new use for flour – no, you don’t use it in baking or cooking, but for the kids to make hills out of and drag their little bulldozers through on the kitchen table or counter. I know what you’re thinking – but remember, it’s a clean mess!
Best Brownie Recipe
Use good quality ingredients, and this recipe is like the athletes in the Olympics – some serious competition. Lisa Holmes, owner/chocolatier/pastry queen at Haute Chocolate on Montgomery Road in Cincinnati, taught this at my cooking school several years ago, and I didn’t even have to beg to get the recipe! As Lisa says “You will have just prepared a pan of the world’s finest brownies.”
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup margarine
1 cup superfine sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup cake flour
Grease an 8x8 pan. Melt butter and margarine over low heat. Remove and add cocoa, sugar and then stir in eggs and vanilla. Add flour and beat very gently. Spread into pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Don’t overbake – a toothpick inserted in the center should come out with some batter clinging to it. Cool completely before cutting.
