So I admit that this one is a big old cheat. I had a box of
Brownie Mix in my cupboard that was just crying out to be made up on a cold
Sunday afternoon in December. Whenever I have tried to make brownies from
scratch they have never ever turned out right so I have always used packet
mixes as they usually end up, just about, better than any of my solo attempts.
So I suppose you could call this a review rather than a straight up, skills
improving, bake.
I followed the instructions on the back of the box (add
water, egg & oil, mix, add chocolate chips) and added some of my own white
chips for good measure. Then it’s into the silicon baking tray and into the
oven. The mixture was very thick but there wasn’t much of it and it was only
about 1 – 2 cm deep in the tin. I wanted quite a firm brownie so I left it in
for the full 25 minutes. After it had totally cooled I added my last bit of
‘personalisation’. I had a lot of cake topping left from last week’s buns so I
covered the top with that.
The brownies turned out pretty well; very thin and very
chewy but also very chocolatey and very yummy. They might be a bit sickly sweet
for some people’s taste but I think that just means a little bit goes a long
way!
Score: No score this time as no real skill was involved!
