Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Several weeks ago on a Monday evening, Scott and I met up at home. Our individual days at work had battered us nearly beyond recognition and we needed something to raise our spirits. It was decided that the only thing that could help were brownie sundaes.
I pulled Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours down off the shelf, surveyed the ingredient list and began to bake. The moment the scent of melting chocolate arrived at our noses, the stresses of the day eased. While I don't believe in turning to food to solve all of life's problems, those brownies truly redeemed our otherwise crappy days. I would recommend you keep this recipe on hand for those moments when nothing but chocolate will do.
Dorie Greenspan's Classic Brownies from Baking: From My Home to Yours
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 5 pieces
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional, but really good)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped walnuts (or you can do what we did and substitute chocolate chips)
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Melt butter and chocolate together over a double boiler.
- When melted, remove from heat and beat in sugar with a hand mixer.
- Beat in eggs, vanilla and espresso powder (I used instant coffee powder, because that's what I had).
- Sift in the salt and flour and beat to incorporate.
- Lastly, stir in nuts or chocolate chips, if using.
- Line a square pan with parchment paper and pour batter in.
- Bake for 30-33 minutes.
