She made them for every occasion: bad weather? Brownies. Guests coming over? Brownies and cookies for dessert. A birthday? Brownies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnyway, that\u2019s enough storytelling. This recipe is so easy to make that you can honestly throw it together on a whim; most of the time, you already have all the ingredients in the pantry. And believe me, that is very dangerous…\n\n\n\nIn any case, I\u2019m thrilled to finally share my family recipe for this classic American dessert with you. I hope it makes its way all around France like my cookie recipe did, hehe\n\n\n\nAlso try my edible raw cookie dough recipe\n\n\n\nTips for Perfect Brownies\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s essential to make sure the butter and chocolate mixture isn\u2019t too hot before adding it to the rest of the ingredients. After all, the rest of the batter contains eggs, and if those eggs start cooking before the brownies even go into the oven… it\u2019s not a pretty sight. \n\n\n\nIn practice, since you melt everything over low heat, the mixture cools down fairly quickly, so no stress.\n\n\n\nSecond tip: let\u2019s talk baking time, ovens, and pan size. Every oven is different; some simply perform better than others. Unfortunately, you\u2019ll need to keep an eye on your brownies and figure out your own ideal baking time (in my family, we went through a phase where we liked them almost raw…oops). \n\n\n\nServe them with some lovely little homemade cinnamon rolls\n\n\n\nBeyond the oven itself, the size of the pan you use can also affect the baking time, since the thickness will inevitably vary. These details won\u2019t completely ruin your brownies, but they\u2019re worth keeping in mind.\n\n\n\nAlso remember that they\u2019ll firm up as they cool, even if they look \u201cundercooked.\u201d\n\n\n\n\n\n\tAuthentic American Brownies\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\t350 g milk chocolate200 g unsalted butter4 eggs200 g sugar125 g all-purpose flour\t\n\t\n\t\tMelt the chocolate and butter together in a saucepan over low heat.In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar, then stir in the chocolate mixture and flour.Bake in a buttered ovenproof dish at 200\u00b0C for 25 minutes.\t\n\t\n\t\tLet the butter and chocolate mixture cool slightly; it should not be hot enough to cook the eggs when you combine them.\n\t\n\t\n\t\tDessert, SnackAm\u00e9ricainebrownies","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132584"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132584\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
