Try this: crumble up 10 Rich Tea digestive biscuits and put into the batter after adding everything else, and mix thoroughly before pouring into the pan.

Deeeelicious.

Thank you very much for the recipe.

Every time I have a dinner with other people in which each one has to bring something, I cook the brownie and I always get the best appraisals.

This recipe is quite close to the brownie recipe I use, but instead of using the double boiler I just stick the butter and chocolate in the microwave. It's a lot easier that way, just takes a minute or two to have the chocolate and butter mixture ready.

All of the ingredients can be tweaked by 25% or so in either direction to get the particular sort of brownies you like.

I've ever seen that contains no leavener whatsoever.
I think I'll err on the side of caution and throw in a half teaspoon of baking powder to be on the safe side

Ok, I take that back, now that I look there are many recipes for brownies without any leavener, I'll try it as it is.

Note that a double boiler is very 20th century Smile A microwave is the far superior modern way to prepare melted chocolate for this kind of thing.

I've made many chocolate creme brulee's that way, it's a snap.
Just toss the butter and chocolate broken up into a container, hit it with 10 second increments of hi power in the microwave repeatedly until it starts to look like a gooey mess but not so far as to melt it completely, then stir it to complete the melting.

PostPosted: Mon May 28, 2007 10:44 am    Post subject: It can take more chocolate Reply with quote

I've been experimenting with brownie recipes and I think this could take at least 50g more chocolate - I love chocolate!

I also experimented with chocolate and lime flavoured brownies. The lime flavour is quite interesting in a brownie, but on reflection I think brownies should be chocolate through and through.

Thanks for the gorgeously illustrated recipe Michael, you've made me want to go make more brownies Smile

I've been wanting a recipe like this for a long, long time. It's been close to 30 years since I've had brownies like this.

These are alot like the brownies I made as a kid, but I no longer have that recipe. I love melting the chocolate, and adding the flour, plus LICKING THE SPOON!

Thanks again for your wonderful recipes!

I have been using this recipe for years (from a Domino sugar box!) and it is excellent. However, I have improved it by using 3 oz. chocolate and 3 oz. cocoa, and adding 2 tablespoons of chocolate liquer. THE BEST!

These brownies were good and easy to make, but I felt that they were lacking a bit in depth - maybe my dark chocolate wasn't a high enough cocoa percentage. Next time I make them I'll add about 1/3 tsp. salt and I think that should do it. I don't think I've ever seen a brownie recipe without salt, but I liked that these didn't have brown sugar in them, as that ingredient is hard to find outside the US. They were better the next day after they settled, and of course we ate them all, so I guess I can't really complain Smile

The best way I have found to avoid the Brownie from sticking to the knife is to heat the knife in hot water. Whether you just run it under a tap or fill a tall container with enough water to cover the blade. Dry the knife before slicing and return to the water after each cut. This also works well for Tarts and other sticky desserts.

I lost my recipe Sad for American Brownies and was desperate to get a good one. Never expected this website to come up in the google search. I had to make them last night for my mother-in-law who was flying back home and was afraid of experimenting. Despite apprehensions, the brownies turned out to be fantastic Smile . Much better than the recipe I had.

Just a question, how do we ensure that the bottom does not get stuck. I did butter the pan and floured it but was unable to overturn the pan and get the brownie complete into another plate.
