So uh. I. Coping, what is that. (I haven't written my actualfacts plan, or my powerpoint, for conference yet, let alone practiced. I leave at godawful o'clock Monday. Yeah. I'm so screwed.
HEY CRAZYDOCTORPERSON, AM I STILL OKAY?! Fuck you.)
ANYWAY. Here's my brownie recipie!
kunenk expressed an interest, so here it is! Slightly adapted from Kids Cooking: A Very Slightly Messy Manual (Klutz Press, 1987 - huh, it's the same age as me, though I got my copy when I was... 10? ish?), as it's an American book.
Ingredients
225g butter
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup cocoa
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups plain flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
(extra bits if you want)
Method
1. Preheat over to eh about medium. (It says 350ºF in the book. That's somewhere between 150-180 depending on your oven in my experience, but that might not actually be a temperature conversion so much as what works for me.) Also, grease tin! (Or line, if you do that! Whatever works.)
2. Melt that butter!
3. Mix the cocoa and sugar together while the butter's melting, then add the butter, too.
4. Add in your eggs and vanilla, then mix more!
5. + flour and salt. If you want to add extra bits, you can! The book says walnuts, but I've never done that. Have successfully added choc chips, M&Ms, and fake cherries, though! Add... Iono. A bit. I think the recipe says half a cup, but the text got removed that one time the pages stuck together, so I'm guessing from the picture. Half to a whole cup? If it's choc chips I kind of add about half the packet (quarter of a packet if it's the size you get in America), so that's ~125g. Or a couple of handfuls of M&Ms, and then a few more to be on the safe side. You know.
6. Put your mix in your pan!
7. In the oven! Takes... uh. In my experience 20 - 40 min; book says 40-50. KEEP AN EYE ON IT, I have burned this one even more than most recipes. (They still taste pretty good even when they're singed, though. I've never had an inedible batch!)
7b. If they're aaaalmost done, though, and you're paranoid about overcooking them, you can turn the oven off and leave them there until they're done/it cools, though! That also works, and you're much less likely to burn them. If you slightly undercook them they tend to be a bit fudgier, too, which is nice!
8. EAT. Try not to eat them all at once, though, you might feel sick.
