TEXAS BROWNIES



TEXAS BROWNIES image

Categories     Dessert     Bake

Yield 48 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cup all purpose flour
2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup strong brewed coffee or water
1/4 cup dark, unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 tsp. Baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
Frosting
1/2 cup butter
2 Tbsp. Dark cocoa
1/4 cup milk
3 1/2 cups unsifted powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp. Vinegar or lemon juice can be substituted for buttermilk

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine flour and sugar. In heavy saucepan, combine butter, shortening, coffee/water, and cocoa. Stir and heat to bowling. Pour the boiling mixture over the flour and sugar in bowl. Add the buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla. Mix well, using a wooden spoon or high speed on electric mixer. Pour into a well buttered 17 ½ x 11" jelly roll pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 min. or until brownies test done. While brownies bake prepare the frosting. In saucepan, combine the butter, cocoa, and milk. Heat to boiling, stirring. Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Pour warm frosting over brownies as soon as you take them out of the oven. Cool. Cut into 48 bars.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. This is one of the most important ingredients in Texas brownies, so don't skimp. Use a chocolate that you know you love, and make sure it's at least 70% cacao.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven. This will help them rise evenly.
  • Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them set and prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Texas brownies are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chocolatey flavor, chewy texture, and gooey center, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give Texas brownies a try.
