Bubbe’s Famous Brownies

Thanks to those of you who attended my first Hangout on Google+!! We had a great turnout and I had a fun time! I am going to make it a weekly thing, so you will have lots of opportunities to join and watch me attempt not to be awkward. This week I showed everyone how to make my Bubbe’s famous brownies- thanks Bubbe for letting me share the recipe with the world! These brownies are fudgey, super rich, and just irresistible. I have had no fewer than two marriage proposals from gentleman callers after trying these suckers. Win!

Gloria asked me what makes some brownies so shiny and I wasn’t sure of the answer. I did some research and it seems that no one is 100% sure but the consensus is that egg whites mixed with sugar creates a meringue that when hardens makes the shiny crust. So, I would maybe replace a egg with an egg white to this recipe if Jew are looking for shiny brownies! Not sure, I haven’t tried it. (Edited to add: Bubbe says it is the weather- humidity, if the A/C is on or not that affects it. Other ideas are the weather (humidity) or baking temperature. I also forgot to mention on the video how you know when the brownies are done. I was too excited to eat a brownie I think! A toothpick will come out almost clean- they will continue to cook a bit when they cool. Also, the easiest way to cut brownies is to make sure they are completely cool, and use a damp knife. Wipe off the knife between cuts to make perfectly square brownies.

Here are a few pics from behind the scenes and the recipe. I included cups and grams if you want to use a scale like I suggest! Here is an awesome digital food scale. Also, I used a 13 by 9-Inch pan, but you can halve the recipe and use and 8 Inch Square Pan. And, no, this isn’t my kitchen. Mine is slightly more ghetto!

What recipes would Jew like to see a video for??

Here I am in action!

All prepped!

Finished product- bam!
