Videos Of Brownie Recipes
We can’t tell you the specifics of the brownie recipes we use to bake our delicious Cake-Style and Extra Fudgy Brownies... But for those of you wanting to make brownies at home we thought we’d share the following videos of some popular brownie recipes.
We think that they’re terrific... but just not as good as ours. Remember, when baking brownies or any other baked goods where the recipe call for chocolate, use the very best chocolates you can afford. We use Belgium Chocolates and cocoa powder exclusively. Each of our recipes calls for our own special blend of two or three different chocolates and/or cocoa powder. Enjoy.
Brownie Baking Tips
Baking Tip No. 1
After you mix your batter and pour it into your baking pan, refrigerate it overnight before baking. This provides an opportunity for all of the flavors and ingredients to mellow and meld usually giving your brownies a richer chocolate taste.
Baking Tip No. 2
The more you beat your eggs, the crustier your brownies will become as the beaten eggs rise to the top of your batter. Most recipes call for no more than 30 seconds of beating... and that seems to satisfy most people’s tastes. However, if you want a brownie with an extra crunchy top you can beat your eggs for as much as 60-90 seconds.
Baking Tip No. 3
Use the best chocolates and cocoa you can afford. Many recipes call for as little of four ounces of chocolate... or, instead, as much as a cup of cocoa. We use much more chocolate than most all others in our recipes and we use several different types of chocolate. When you combine several different kinds of chocolate you will get a richer, more complex chocolate taste. You might try using one-half 100% chocolate and one-half semi-sweet chocolate the next time you bake brownies... Or you can order what we think is the world’s best brownies from Ruth’s Brownie Kitchen and leave the baking to us.
Baking Tip No. 4
Always line your baking pan with baking parchment or quickrelease paper. This will assure that your brownies come out of your pan easily and look beautiful... And it makes cleanup easier too.
