REC - Fudge Brownies
Just made a batch of chocolate-orange brownies. I've earned them.
Tomorrow, I'll be working on smoking the brisket. Crash keeps taking falls and landing on that hip, and it's hard for him to do the things that need to be done. Tomorrow night, the bleep hits the fan when dozens of auctions come down on eBay. I have maybe 1/3 of the boxes and packing materials that I'm gonna need. Trying to worry about that when the time comes. Anyway, here's the recipe. It'll be at least a week before I can spend any real time in the newsgroup. (These are really good brownies!) * Exported from MasterCook * Damsel's Fudge Brownies Recipe By :Damsel in dis Dress Serving Size : 48 Preparation Time :0:20 Categories : brownies chocolate Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter -- softened (10 ounces) 2 1/2 cups sugar 4 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon orange extract 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup cocoa 2 cups flour Heat oven to 350°F.

I love brownies and I love orange, but I've never considered anything more exotic than vanilla - so this sounds interesting. I've taken candied orange peels & dipped them into chocolate - how different can this be? I'm sorry to hear Crash isn't doing well. I was thinking about him today and assumed he was doing better. Give him another hug from me! Thanks for the update ``````````````` On Tue, 16 Aug 2005 02:29:10 -0500, Damsel wrote: > Just made a batch of chocolate-orange brownies.

Ben & Jerry's used to make a "Mandarin Chocolate" ice cream, which was chocolate ice cream with an orange flavor. I have their cookbook at home; I'll have to check where the orange flavor came from. I think it was Gran Marnier or Triple Sec. It was AWESOME! Sadly, they don't make it anymore, though you can ask them to "resurrect" it: http://www.benjerry.com/our_company/.../resurrect.cfm Bob |

Since you're using baking powder, I was worried you might need the acid in the cocoa so it should be regular but wasn't sure. |

If you make brownies with almond, sprinkle almond slices on top and press them in gently so they get baked into the top of the brownies. > I'm sorry to hear Crash isn't doing well.

We're calling tomorrow to see about getting his ears tested. Maybe it's an equilibrium problem. Who knows? He's in so much pain, he's excited about having the other hip and the knees done. He's lived with this for so long. Then .... we're having his back checked out. > Thanks for the update You betcha! Carol |

I wish there were something I could do to help. Carol |

I wonder how it would coume out if instead of orange extract, you used
Grand marnier? The reply-to email address is . This is an address I ignore. To reply via email, remove 2002 and change yahoo to interaccess, ** Thaddeus L. Olczyk, PhD There is a difference between *thinking* you know something, and *knowing* you know something. |

I baked brownies in a springform pan, let them cool, and removed from the pan. Then I poked holes in the brownie round and poured a few tablespoons of Grand Marnier over it. I spread a layer of apricot preserves on top, and frosted with dark chocolate buttercream. My friend and I each had a slice that evening. He said he finished the torte by noon the next day. Derek |
