The perfect brownie

True To Your Style Brownie.

Here’s my take on a rich melt in your mouth brownie… 

Brownies should be gooey, melty, really chocolatey and rich.  But it need not be the same for you.  The ingredients for a basic brownie are 

Butter 1/2 cup

 Sugar 1/2 cup

Brown sugar 1/2 cup

Vanilla 1 tsp

Coco powder 1/3 cup 

Flour 1/2 cup 

Salt a pinch

 Baking powder 1/4 tsp

 Chocolate chunks.. 1/2 cup 

 Now here is the thing..this is the basic brownie recipe..when I had made this..it was too sweet to my taste and not chocolaty enough. The “richness” that I wanted was missing.

So here are my tweaks:

Butter 3/4 cup

Sugar 1/2 cup  (omit this)

Brown sugar 1/2 cup ( or omit this)

Vanilla 1 tsp  (1/4 tsp)

Coco powder 1/3 cup

Flour 1/2 cup

Salt a pinch

Baking powder 1/4 tsp

Chocolate chunks.. 1/2 cup ONE AND A HALF CUP :))

Walnuts 1/2 cup

SO NOW YOU KNOW WHY THE BROWNIES I MAKE ARE AMAZING!! RIGHT??

THE REASON FOR THE CHANGES:

1. Butter: The cause and answer to the richness and the silence of your consumers..instead of half a cup, make it a 3/4 cup..  

2. Sugar:  You can use just brown sugar instead of regular white.

3. Vanilla: If you get the real bean..wonderful…otherwise if its a store bought one stick to 1/4 tsp of vanilla…you want the chocolate flavour to be enhanced not overpowered.

4. Flour: If you want to feel guilt free from all the butter and sugar replace the flour with almond flour.

5. Chocolate chunks: I was pretty generous..I added one and a half..cut to small chunks.. I mixed half of them in the batter and then sprinkled some after in poured the batter in the pan..

6. Walnuts: cut them to smaller pieces and swirl them with the chocolate pieces which are on the top…

Bake them for 11-15 mins max at 160 degrees..not more..put a fork to check! The top layer will be shiny and crusty…the true sign of a wonderful brownie.

this serves 4-6 people...that is if you are willing to share...

So..do let me know how they turned out.
