Preparation duration: 15 minutes

Cooking duration: 25 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1/2 tsp baking powder

2 sticks (16 Tbsp) butter

4 large eggs

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 Tbsp instant/dried espresso

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups sugar

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I used Valhrona but use any good cocoa powder)

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 cup toasted, chopped walnuts

Equipment:

oven

baking paper

baking pan

frying pan

mixing bowl

bowl

whisk

toothpicks

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a 9 X 13" baking pan with cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper so the parchment hangs over the sides (you can lift the brownies out of the pan). Spray the parchment paper. Heat the butter in a large skillet until it foams and continue to cook on medium, stirring constantly until it starts to brown. The butter will have foam on top so watch carefully to make sure the solid bits on the bottom do not burn; you should also notice a distinct scent as it starts to brown. An amazing one too! Let the butter cool before continuing.Combine the butter, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.Add cocoa powder to the bowl, mix on low speed until well blended.Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and espresso in a bowl and whisk. Add them to the mixture in the mixing bowl and beat well.Stir in the toasted nuts and pour the mixture into the prepared pan.Bake 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do NOT overbake.Let cool and cut into squares.Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh raspberries.

Food Trivia

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
