Ultimate Brownie for Blog Hop

Hi Friends,


Today is the 3rd week of Blog Hop Wednesdays, an effort started by Radhika. It encourages us to blog hop and try our fellow blogger's recipes. Please check out what all this is about.


This week, I am paired with Anamika who has an amazing blog with great recipes and the best of all, some mouth watering pics and presentations. I have a couple from her blog bookmarked, but this is what I started with. She has this wonderful table in this post where she compiled some mouth watering brownie recipes from different sources and how they compare with each other. She picked this recipe Dorie Greenspan. Now, being a big Brownie fan, you can bet that I am going to try all those 6 recipes one by one, but this was the first one I wanted to try.


It came out perfect, not too crumbly, not too chewy, just perfect and melt in the mouth kind. How many of you have had those Brownie Petites @ COSCO (a store here in US). If you had those, you can compare these to the texture and taste of those. It took me just 10 minutes of preparation and 25 minutes of baking. It is that simple. So, what are you waiting for get started guys and make them. You will not regret. Thanks Anamika for that table and this delicious recipe.


Ultimate Brownie (Recipe of Dorie Greenspan)
Ingredients
Butter - 5 tbsp (I used salted to give that extra salty taste in my brownie, which I like, but feel free to use unsalted one to suit your taste buds)
Chocolate - 6 oz (I used semi-sweet squares of baking chocolate)
All-Purpose Flour - 1/3 cup
Sugar - 1/3 cup
Eggs - 2 large (I used egg beaters equivalent of 2 large eggs)
Vanilla - 1 tsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Preparation
  • Prepare your favorite pan with parchment paper and then some butter on the parchment paper as well.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degree F.
  • Take a small saucepan on heat and melt butter and chocolate till smooth.
  • Take it off the heat and let it come to room temp (about 4 min.or so)
  • Add sugar and whisk till smooth.
  • Add eggs, vainlla and salt and mix well till incorporated.
  • Add whisked APF now and mix till smooth.
  • Pour in the pan and bake for 25 - 30 minute or till toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let it rest for at least 10 minutes before trying to eat it.
  • Patience will be paid off :)
  • I got 16 squares of the size you see in the picture from the ingredients mentioned above.
Serving
Serve them as it is or with ice-cream if you prefer it. I just had a warm brownie all by itself. What a divine pleasure it gives to a chocoholic like me. You have to be a chocoholic to understand that :)



Please do check what other blog hoppers are cooking.




That's all for now. Take care till next post.
