WALNUT BROWNIES

I LEARNED to make these brownies in 1957 in home economics class. They were the first goodies I'd ever baked by myself. Now, 40 years later, I still make a batch occasionally. The recipe calls for basic ingredients on hand in most every kitchen, and the rich chocolate flavor is delicious. -Lorraine Silver, Chicopee, Massachusetts

BLACK WALNUT BROWNIES

One of my favourites when I went to Grandmama's home for the holidays. She always had a tiny glass of wine waiting for me along with these brownies. Grandmama has passed now and I don't get back to France as often as I wish now, so in tribute to her " Pour que tu saches. C'est un petit message qui leur permettra de savoir que jamas tu ne les oublieras !"

Tips:

  • Use fresh black walnuts for the best flavor. If you don't have access to fresh walnuts, you can use store-bought walnuts, but they won't have as much flavor.
  • Toast the walnuts before using them. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. If the toothpick comes out clean, the brownies are overbaked.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

These black walnut brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give these brownies a try. You won't be disappointed.
