SUPERNATURAL BROWNIES



Supernatural Brownies image

This recipe is an accidental creation by Nick Malgieri, who (in a rare human moment for a pastry chef) once forgot to double the flour when baking his own fudge brownie recipe. He also adds a measure of brown sugar to the basic formula. The experts are divided as to whether the brown sugar actually contributes flavor or simply makes the brownie moister (molasses, which makes brown sugar brown, is powerfully hydrophilic). It's my belief that the slightly bitter taste of molasses acts as an invisible enhancer to the chocolate. The result is as complex and sophisticated as any terrine or truffle I have ever produced.

BROWNIES (BY NICK MALGIERI)



Brownies (By Nick Malgieri) image

This recipes comes from the master baker, Nick Malgieri's cookbook, Chocolate: From Simple Cookies To Extravagant Showstoppers (which won the prestigious IACP/Julia Child cookbook award). This recipe makes a very fudgey dense brownie - not at all cake-like. The original recipe stated to cook it for 45 minutes, but I found them to be done after 35 minutes. It also states to let the brownies cool in the pan and cover with plastic wrap until the next day. Additionally, it states to unmold onto a cutting board, turn brownies right-side up and trim away the edges & then slice into 2-inch squares. Well, we couldn't wait until the next day to eat them and I can't even imagine throwing away my favorite part - the edges! NOTE: According to the recipe you can use Bittersweet Chocolate, if desired but I used Semisweet.
