Mom was craving brownies so I made these this weekend! First up, line an 8×8 pan with tinfoil and grease This was the first time I’ve ever bloomed cocoa powder. But apparently it brings out a more chocolatey flavourAdd the butter, the semisweet chocolate and vegetable oil. Melt and combine over a double boiler. Then add the sugars! Last of the wet ingredients, add the egg, egg yolks, and vanilla.This was my first time using malt powder. You can only buy it off of amazon in a very large container. So I bought it, and mailed half to my friend Kailee in PG who has the same book. I’ll post her pictures of her own brownies at the very end. Flour, malt powder, and salt This was my first time using the Danish whisk that I got for Christmas (lots of firsts apparently). It’s a fantastic tool for when you need to mix something but it’d get caught up in a normal whisk – like any doughs or thick batters. It worked perfectly once I added the dry ingredients to this. The recipe calls for milk chocolate chunks, but I prefer dark. So I used dark! Ready to bake! A 10/10. This was amazing. Crispy edges with a slightly gooey center. I was going to make more of the caramel from the rice pudding cake that I made previously, but I had some that my brother Dylan made, so I used that. Bonus pictures! Kailee’s brownies!
For two reasons. Metal heats up better than glass, and I only had a glass 8×8. So using the foil gives crisper edges. As well, when it’s cooled, the foil comes right out of the pan, and the foil off the brownies. So no lost pieces, and super easy cleanup
Had the brownie without the fixings but still yummy! At first I didn’t realize they were malt brownies and was wondering what I was tasting but once I realized, it all made sense. Not super sweet which is good, rich in flavour and had that brownie texture (light crust and very chewy/gooey center). Maybe a little bit too salty, imo. I think the caramel would have helped to make it like a salted caramel malt flavour. ♡
