Cooking with Haircut: Chocolate Brownies

PurpleDinosaur · 13 Jan 2008 at 17:18

Bought all the ingredients now, minus the nuts and baking powder and replacing plain flour with self-raising.

Will report back later on.

Can you make these without the nuts?, would i need to add more flour etc to compensate?. They look lovely but I'm not a fan of nuts in food .

Shoud be able to leave out the nut and have no issues, add another 5gs flour or so if you wish.

But thisn't my recipe

There is another special ingredient I like to add. In these parts (switzerland), it often goes by the name "Mountain herbs". The trick is to put some herbs into melted butter, simmer very gently for a few minutes, then straina dn leve to cool. I think.

chocolate brownies with haircut ... dont find that appertising

Eating them now, very tasty but don't think I added enough self-raising flower to compensate for the lack of baking powder. Didn't rise much.

Good though.

AcidHell2 got it right, use a wooden spoon to stir the all of the ingredients in upto the flour then use a metal spoon to fold that in.
I kind of assumed people would figure that bit out but I guess not

Yeah, you can definitely taste the difference if you use good quality cocoa and chocolate.
I'm attempting to be healthy too (after putting on 9lbs over Christmas :eek:

) these were made for a friend's birthday today and I managed to limit myself to just one!
