Brownies you need to make today
Saturday night, the manfriend started firing off dessert requests per the usual. When he mentioned brownies I thought "Hm, that might just be a challenge I'm up for." I googled, and soon enough, allrecipes.com had the perfect simple recipe for me.
Do you know that before Saturday, I'd never baked brownies that weren't straight from the Betty Crocker box? It was definitely time that changed.
What do you need?
Cocoa powder
Butter
Sugar
Flour
Eggs
Vanilla
Baking powder
Salt
Sea salt
Powdered sugar
This turned out to be one of the easiest recipes I've made before.
First, melt the butta!
Remove from heat and add the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, eggs, vanilla, salt, baking powder and mix. I added a few cracks of sea salt in this step and I could taste it in the brownies. Yuuuum.
And all of a sudden you have gooey chocolate!
Pour into your 8" square pan and bake for 25 min at 350 degrees
Remove from oven and sprinkle snow/powdered sugar on top
Cut into 9 pieces so your significant other doesn't devour the entire pan in one sitting
And this is why I won't be using boxed brownie mix in the future. It was just too easy not to pass up.
Is there a recipe that's always intimidated you OR are you sure that the boxed/packaged/premade version is just easier?

I am intimidated by GF baking. It calls for weird things like Xanthan Gum. I finally found a banana bread recipe that rocks, though, so that is my stand by. I would like to try to make my own bread - like regular bread to serve w/ soups or a sandwich. but bread recipes intimidate me because it calls for yeast and that scares me for some random reason...
We Are Not Martha-yum...butterscotch chips would make these delish!
I used to be TOTALLY afraid of baking bread...or anything with yeast in it. My mom loved to give me a ration of $#!@ over this...she could not understand why a chemistry major and pharmacist thought yeast and bread were challenging. Now I know, I deserved that ration of $#!@.
Isn't it nice to be able to dial the running back a bit and do other stuff. Rest up and get well. :-)
