Brownies

This is a recipe from my childhood. The icing is two-tone - my Mom's signature. I am not a big chocolate fan, but even I can't resist this treat.



Bub's Two-Tone Brownies


Ingredients:

For the brownie:

6 tablespoons powdered cocoa

1 cup (225 grams) sugar

1/2 cup (112 grams) unsalted butter

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup (65 grams) walnuts

2 eggs

1/2 - 3/4 (75 - 110 grams) cup flour - amount depends on size of eggs

pinch of salt

For the icing:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

7/8 cup (100 grams) icing sugar

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

2 tablespoon cooking cream (10%)

3 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate (75-80% cocoa)

pinch of salt


Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 F. (162 C.)

Melt butter and cocoa in a double boiler

Remove from heat

Add sugar and salt and mix well

Beat eggs and add to mixture

Add vanilla

Add 1/2 cup flour

Batter should be thick but not stiff

If batter is thin, add rest of flour

Rough chop walnuts into large pieces

Add to batter

Bake in a pyrex (glass, oven proof) pan for 20 minutes

Let cool

When brownies are cool make icing

Add butter and 1/2 sugar to bowl

Mix until it forms a paste

Add salt and 1 tablespoon cream

Mix

Add rest of sugar, followed by cream

Reserve

Melt chocolate squares in double boiler

Spread butter icing on brownies

Pour melted chocolate over icing and spread very gently with a knife

The chocolate layer on top will harden

Score chocolate surface before cutting brownies in order to get clean edges


Enjoy! !בתיאבון
