9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
My friend Megan is the proprietor of Sugar Star, a
baking business in Portland, Oregon that supplies tasty treats like chocolate cake with Earl Gray-infused ganache and
rosewater red velvet cake to coffee shops like Fuel Cafe on Alberta
Street. One of the things she makes that I love are Salty Brownies, decadent chocolate brownies topped with
chunky sea salt.I made a batch tonight. Just use your favorite brownie recipe (or—gasp!—a box), and when the brownies have about four minutes left to cook, remove the almost-baked brownies and sprinkle them lightly with rock salt. (I used a half teaspoon of pink, Hawaiian alae salt.) Continue cooking for the remaining four minutes of baking time. Remove from oven and serve as usual. The salt really makes the chocolate flavor pop. They are always a hit at parties. I'll never make brownies any other way.
