King Arthur Brownies

Winter= I'm a failure at taking food pictures.  I'm still trying new things regularly, but with the lack of daylight, the picture taking of what I make has been sparse.  I definitely am not one of those bloggers who takes a picture of everything I cook/bake...I just aim to do the stuff that is really really good.  And I haven't done that for you...oops.  I need to re-make some of the stuff that's really really good so you can give it a go too.

A friend of mine suggested these King Arthur Brownies.  I am a fan of brownies, huge fan.  And I am also a fan of trying new brownie recipes...errr....  I should say I am a fan of eating different kinds and therefore I bake different ones.  These were worth the calories. 

And I know, I really ought to bust that camera out more often....
 

Recipe is from here


King Arthur Brownies
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

1) Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9" x 13" pan
2) Crack the 4 eggs into a bowl, and beat them with the cocoa, salt, baking powder, espresso powder, and vanilla till smooth.
3) In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, or in a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir to combine. Or simply combine the butter and sugar, and heat, stirring, until the butter is melted. Continue to heat (or microwave) briefly, just until the mixture is hot (about 110°F to 120°F), but not bubbling; it'll become shiny looking as you stir it. Heating the mixture to this point will dissolve more of the sugar, which will yield a shiny top crust on your brownies.
4) Add the hot butter/sugar mixture to the egg/cocoa mixture, stirring until smooth.
5) Add the flour and chips, again stirring until smooth. Note: If you want the chips to remain intact in the baked brownies, rather than melting in, let the batter cool in the bowl for about 20 minutes before stirring in the chips.
6) Spoon the batter into a lightly greased 9" x 13" pan.
7) Bake the brownies for about 30 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. The brownies should feel set on the edges, and the center should look very moist, but not uncooked. Remove them from the oven and cool on a rack before cutting and serving.

  1. Oh, yum! I wish I could jump into my iPad right now! I never manage to take pictures of food, either, and the few times I did - the pictures.... not so good. But your brownies sure look amazing.
