KATHARINE HEPBURN'S BROWNIES



Katharine Hepburn's Brownies image

The best recipe I have for brownies comes from a friend who got it from a magazine article about Katharine Hepburn. It is, apparently, her family's.

Categories     Chocolate     Nut     Dessert     Bake     Quick & Easy     Spring

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Melt together 1 stick butter and 2 squares unsweetened chocolate and take the saucepan off the heat.
  • 2. Stir in 1 cup sugar, add 2 eggs and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and beat the mixture well.
  • 3. Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. (In the original recipe, 1 cup chopped walnuts is added here as well.)
  • 4. Bake the brownies in a buttered and floured 8-inch-square pan at 325°F for about 40 minutes.
  • You can cut these brownies into squares, once they have cooled, and eat them out of the pan, but it is so much nicer to pile them on a fancy plate, from which people are going to eat them with their hands anyway. If you want to smarten up your act you can put a square of brownie on a plate with a little blob of créme fraîche and a scattering of shaved chocolate.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your brownies. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven. This will help them to rise evenly.
  • Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the brownies for the amount of time specified in the recipe.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

These are just a few tips for making perfect brownies. With a little practice, you'll be able to make delicious brownies that everyone will love. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
