Title: American Brownies
Post by: Denzelmum on September 15, 2010, 02:49:37 pm
A very quick and easy one...

Ingredients:
250g unsalted butter, diced
150g plain flour
320g white sugar or raw sugar
65g Dutch Cocoa powder
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence

Method:

1. Heat oven 180oC
2. Melt butter for 2 minutes at 60oC, speed 3.
3. Put remaining ingredients, mixed at speed 5 for 5-8 seconds.
4. Pour to lined lamington tin and bake for 30 minutes.
5. Rest in the tin for 10 minutes.

Tips:  could add walnut, pecan or almond - cook further 10 minutes.

members' comments

artsyshell - they were fantastic. Thanks! Very moist and flavourful. I used vanilla paste instead of the extract and added about 1/2 whole pecans, which I added in with the rest of ingredients.

Chelsea - simple and delicious

cottchick - Agreed. I make this often and it's showing on my waistline!

thermie crew - These have become a family favourite. Everyone that tastes them agrees that they are fantastic.

KathS - Thanks for such a quick and simple recipe... I made these yesterday and they were very well received! I think next time I'll try adding a small handful of white chocolate chips.

Obbie - I make this one a lot.  My kids all time favourite.

DJ - Reduced sugar to 280g and butter to 210g. Used soft brown sugar. Should have cooked a bit longer. Very squishy in middle. Or I could use a bigger tin. Voted a hit anyway.

suzanne - I make this one often and I whip it up for dessert it's delicious with ice cream and Hershey's chocolate sauce, DH said he could eat the whole thing given half the chance.

Thermominoux - Very good recipe. Tried and was delicious.  Thanks for this nice recipe.

This is quick and easy.  You could almost wizz it up when the unexpected guests arrive.

I only ever have raw sugar. I give it a quick zap first to break the grains down but not to the point of icing sugar.
Title: Re: American Brownies
Post by: thermie crew on November 04, 2011, 07:56:55 am
Thanks. The plan has always been to only have raw sugar but when a recipe specifies white sugar I'm reluctant to ignore it. As long as I know it works, I'll ditch the white sugar completely!

I only use raw sugar for all cooking.
It works well.

Made this today.
Reduced sugar to 280 and butter to 210.

Used soft brown sugar.

Should have cooked a bit longer. Very squishy in middle. Or I could use a bigger tin.

Voted a hit anyway.

Thanks for this awesome recipe.  Haven't been on the forum for a while but wanted a quick yet impressive cake/dessert option and couldn't go past all the positive reviews.  Added macadamias AND chocolate chips because I'm basically greedy and also because I wanted to impress.  Delicious, thank you.
