Basic brownie recipe
I am on the hunt for the perfect brownie recipe. I had the perfect brownie in London, moist enough to stick together and thick enough to make a good bite. It was perfect and they even came shaped like a heart. I loved them. But I think the company went pear shaped before I even had a chance to weasel the recipe from the proprietor.
As it is, I have a small collection of brownie recipes, and not enough reason to make them all. I think I might start volunteering for a “send-a-box-of-baked-goods” society so I have a place to send all of our experimentations.
1/2 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour an 8″ square pan.
2. In a large saucepan, melt butter. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs and vanilla. Beat in cocoa, flour, salt and baking powder. Spread batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Do not overcook!
4. For frosting, combine:
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup confectioners sugar.
Frost brownies while they are still warm.
