New York Brownies 1978 Recipes

NEW CLASSIC BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line an 8-inch-square metal baking pan with foil. In top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water, or on low power in a microwave, melt butter and chocolate together. Stir often, and remove from heat when a few lumps remain. Stir until smooth.
• Stir in sugar, vanilla and salt. Stir in eggs one at a time, followed by flour. Stir until very smooth, about 1 minute, until mixture pulls away from sides of bowl. Add nuts, if using. Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare a water bath: Pour ice water into a large roasting pan or kitchen sink to a depth of about 1 inch. Remove pan from oven and place in water bath, being careful not to splash water on brownies. Let cool completely, then lift out and cut into 1-inch squares or wrap in foil.

KATHARINE HEPBURN'S BROWNIES

Steps:

• 1. Melt together 1 stick butter and 2 squares unsweetened chocolate and take the saucepan off the heat.
• 2. Stir in 1 cup sugar, add 2 eggs and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and beat the mixture well.
• 3. Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. (In the original recipe, 1 cup chopped walnuts is added here as well.)
• 4. Bake the brownies in a buttered and floured 8-inch-square pan at 325°F for about 40 minutes.
• You can cut these brownies into squares, once they have cooled, and eat them out of the pan, but it is so much nicer to pile them on a fancy plate, from which people are going to eat them with their hands anyway. If you want to smarten up your act you can put a square of brownie on a plate with a little blob of créme fraîche and a scattering of shaved chocolate.

MONEY CAN'T BUY YOU HAPPINESS BROWNIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Put the butter and chocolate in a small pot and melt gently, stirring occasionally until the mixture is liquid. Set aside to cool.
• Line the bottom and sides of a 9 x 13-inch/23 x 33cm baking pan with some parchment paper so that it comes ½ inch/1cm above the top of the pan, and lightly grease.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Combine the eggs, brown sugar, and cooled coffee in a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer) and whisk until the mixture is light, thick, and fluffy. This should take 5 minutes with electric beaters. (Adding the coffee really enhances the flavor of the cocoa and you won't even be able to taste the coffee itself.)
• Pour in the cooled melted chocolate and whisk until the mixture no longer has any streaks in it. Then add the sifted flour, cocoa, and salt and mix until you have a glossy batter.
• Mix the teaspoon of flour with the chocolate chips in a bowl before mixing them into the batter until they're well dispersed-this trick will prevent them from sinking to the bottom when you bake the brownies. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and level off the top. Bake for 25 minutes.
• While it is baking, toast the nuts in a large nonstick pan, stirring until they are a deep golden brown. Put the dulce de leche in a bowl along with the toasted nuts and the salt, mix, and set aside.
• As soon as the brownies are baked, take them out of the oven and let cool completely in the pan. Spread the sticky nut mixture over the top and pop the whole thing in the freezer for 30 minutes.
• Adjust the oven to 325°F.
• Make the cheesecake top by mixing the cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, almond extract, orange zest, and flour together really well. Spoon and spread into an even layer over the nut mixture and pop into the oven for about 50 minutes. As soon as the cheesecake is set in the center, allow to cool totally and chill in the fridge overnight. The wait will be worth it!
• Dust with the cocoa, take out of the pan, and cut into squares. Eat, eat, eat!
