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

Several ancient cultures viewed the apple as a feminine symbol and found a resemblance between the two halves of a vertically cut apple to the female genital system. Alternatively, an apple cut horizontally resembled a pentagram, which was considered key in revealing knowledge of good and evil.

Food Joke

Father, mother and son decide to go to the zoo one day. So they set off and are seeing lots of animals. Eventually they end up opposite the elephant house. The boy looks at the elephant, sees its willy, points to it and says, "Mummy, what is that long thing?" His mother replies, "That, son, is the elephant's trunk." "No, at the other end." "That, son is the tail." "No, mummy, the thing under the elephant." A short embarrassed silence after which she replies, "That's nothing." The mother goes to buy some ice-cream and the boy, not being satisfied with her answer, asks his father the same question. "Daddy, what is that long thing?" "That's the trunk, son," replies the father. "No at the other end." "Oh, that is the tail." "No, no daddy, the thing below," asks the son in desperation. "That is the elephants penis. Why do you ask son?" "Well mummy said it was nothing," says the boy. Replies the father: "I tell you, I spoil that woman ..."
