BEST BROWNIES
made by Juni - (totally home made, I could tell) most freaking excellent.
thanks, Juni!
She made them for a hippie prof of hers who was talked into having a Fun Food Day today and she made a double batch therefore having some for us in Brit. Lit.
:)
Yep, I even grew the eggs. Well, my chickens did. :)
TY, Bri. Glad you liked 'em. Thanks for sharing your tootsie pops tonight. :D
No maryjane, though the "hippie prof" and his class did joke about it. I assured them that the only secret ingredient was luuuuuv. :blush:
Hey Bri, do you know a guy named Ash? Long hair and beard? Funny guy. Made some great vegetarian chili.
Aw, not fair!
Brownies and veggie chilli and none for me :mecry:
Glad Bri got some though, good on you Juni
Hey everyone. Juni said if we all pm our addresses, she'll mail us all brownies.
Better get crackin' juni. :)
I don't think I know a guy named Ash...but there was a vegetarian dude in my ASL class.
TOTALLY worth PM'ing Juni for the brownies. They were the BEST brownies I've ever had. Fo' Shizzel.
pssst...she didn't really SAY that. ;)
pssst...she didn't really SAY that. ;)
Well, if we put enough pressure on her maybe she WILL! Let's all think positive brownie thoughts...
I do believe in brownies. I do believe in brownies. I do! I do! I do! I do believe in brownies. I do believe in brownies. I do! I do! I do! I do![/cowardlylion]
I may send you the recipe. ;)
Oh do, I just got a new baking pan from pampered chef! :)
Are there walnuts in it? Last weekend, out of the blue, my mom gives a big old bag of walnuts. Seems fate wants me to make some brownies.
You can put nuts in it. I did. They were delish.
Ok, here's the recipe. It's straight from the Hershey's website, not like I invented it or anything. :)
Hershey's Best Brownies
Ingredients:
* 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine
* 2 cups sugar
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 4 eggs
* 3/4 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa or HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Cocoa
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup chopped nuts(optional)
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
2. Place butter in large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 2 to 2-1/2 minutes or until melted. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well with spoon after each addition. Add cocoa; beat until well blended. Add flour, baking powder and salt; beat well. Stir in nuts, if desired. Pour batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Frost if desired. Cut into bars. About 36 brownies.
BTW, Bri, have you ever had the "Killer Brownies" at Dorothy Lane Market? Yum yum! We used to have scout leader meetings at DLM and I'd bring home one of these, and split it 4-ways with my family, they are THAT good and THAT rich. ::sigh::
How fun. I might make some tonight to take to my family tomorrow.
Thanks Juni! :)
I had a Killer Brownie a loooooong time ago. May have to re-visit that today :)
really, I should be reading Mary Barton and making ziti for my boy.
Mum was making suggestions of ways to make my place better, specifically the kitchen (which is ludicrously tiny). She suggested this thing to go over the top of the cooker, which would make it into an extra work surface:
"So you'll have all that extra space for when you're baking..." she says.
I responded "Sorry, have we met?"
haggis @ dana!
I've used that line on my own mom. I forget what it was about, but she'd said something so out of keeping with who I actually am...I said "Hi, I'm Shaw, have we met?"
I'd forgotten I had to go to my sis-in-law's party, where you buy stupid stuff, like monogrammed bags...so no brownies last night.
Probably not tonight either. I have to go in and try to finish up what I spent 8 hours working on yesterday. Speaking of mildly irritated...
