Best 4 Palmer House Brownies Recipes
THE PALMER HOUSE BROWNIE
This recipe goes way back, like 1898 back, when the brownie was first recorded into existence at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago. Don't rely on the traditional stick test for doneness in this recipe; the brownies will continue to be gooey even after baking. For easier cutting, place glazed brownies in the freezer for 3 to 4 hours.

CHICAGO'S PALMER HOUSE CHOCOLATE FUDGE BROWNIE
The brownie was invented in Chicago in 1893 by the chef of the Palmer House Hotel at the request of Mrs. Bertha Palmer. The ladies attending the Columbian Exposition needed something they could eat with their hands without getting them dirty, making this great for the Superball game. The recipe below is the exact one used at the Palmer House Hilton Hotel on State Street today. The brownies are easier to cut if you place the whole pan into the freezer for 3 to 4 hours after glazing, then remove and cut with a serrated knife. In fact, freezing them after glazing is highly recommended for the recipe to work properly.

THE PALMER HOUSE BROWNIE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Melt chocolate with the butter in a double boiler or in a bowl set over barely simmering water. Mix dry ingredients except the walnuts-- in a large mixer bowl on low speed for 4-5 minutes. Add the eggs and mix until blended. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 baking sheet and sprinkle with the walnuts, pressing nuts down lightly into the mixture with the palm of your hand. Bake in the preheated 300 degree oven for 40 minutes. You will know when it is done because the edges start to become a little crispy and the brownie has raised about ¼ inch. Note that even when the brownie is properly baked, it will test "gooey" with a toothpick in the middle due to the richness of the mixture. After removing from the oven, allow to cool at least 30 minutes. To make glaze: Mix together water, preserves and gelatin in a saucepan, mix thoroughly and bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Use while hot. Spread the glaze in a thin layer over the brownies using a pastry brush. The brownies are easiest to cut if you can place the whole pan into the freezer for 3 - 4 hours after glazing, then remove and cut with a serrated knife.
