MADE-OVER DEEP DISH BROWNIES

Categories     dessert

Time 2h5m

Yield 16 (2-inch) square brownies

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons canola or other neutral tasting oil
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 large eggs, cold
1 tablespoon cold brewed coffee
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Position rack in the lower third of the oven and heat oven to 325 degrees F. Use an 8 by 8 silicon baking pan or line a similar sized metal or glass baking dish with foil or parchment paper so it hangs over the edges by about 1 inch. Spray the prepared pan completely.
  • Put the butter, oil and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat at 75 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir, and microwave again until completely melted, about 2 minutes more. (Alternatively put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with 1 inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, not touching, the water, and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.)
  • Stir the brown and white sugars, vanilla and salt into the chocolate mixture with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs and coffee and beat vigorously until fully incorporated and the batter is thick and glossy. Add the cocoa, flour and baking soda and stir just until it disappears.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and bake until the top is crispy and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few crumbs, about 30 minutes (40 minutes if not using silicon).
  • Cool the brownies in the pan on the counter. Lift brownies out of the pan by the foil, if needed. Peel off the foil and cut into 2-inch squares. Serve. Store extra brownies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Provided by Camille Beckstrand

Categories     Dessert

Time 38m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup water
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup butter
2 Tablespoons cocoa
1/4 cup milk
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and the sugar.
  • In a heavy saucepan, combine butter, shortening, water, and cocoa. Stir and heat to boiling.
  • Pour boiling mixture over the flour and sugar in the bowl.
  • Add the buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla. Mix well using a wooden spoon or high speed on an electric mixer.
  • Pour into a well greased cookie sheet (17 1/2 x 11 inch) pan.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until brownies test done in center.
  • While brownies bake, prepare the frosting. In a saucepan, combine the butter, cocoa, and milk. Heat to boiling and stirring constantly.
  • Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla until frosting is smooth (you may have to whisk it).
  • Pour warm frosting over brownies as soon as you take them out of the oven. Let cool and cut into 40 bars.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect fudgy texture, ensure that you do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a denser, cakier brownie.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips. You can also add a tablespoon of instant coffee granules to enhance the chocolate taste.
  • To prevent the brownies from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan thoroughly before pouring in the batter.
  • Use a toothpick or skewer to check if the brownies are done. Insert it into the center of the brownie; if it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached, the brownies are ready.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them. This will help them set properly and prevent them from falling apart.
