Quick and easy chocolate brownies – using the cocoa and saucepan method. I know that people have tried and tested recipes for chocolate brownies, and have strong feelings about whether they should include melted chocolate or not … this recipe works well and is reliable. <\/p>\n
You can add 2-4 oz of chopped nuts or chocolate pieces if you must, but it is very good as it is.<\/p>\n
Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n 4 oz butter Method<\/strong><\/p>\n Melt butter in a pan. Add sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. You can ice this with a coffee-flavoured butter icing, if you choose. I usually ice one half, and leave the other plain, because the children have different preferences.<\/p>\n To make a butter icing, beat together about 2 oz of butter with 4 oz of icing sugar (I think this is called confectioner’s sugar in the States), with some coffee essence if you have it, or 1 tblsp or so of strong black coffee. If it is too runny, add more icing sugar – or add a tiny bit more coffee flavouring if it is too stiff. It shouldn’t run off the fork, and you should be able to draw fork lines in it without them disappearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Quick and easy gluten free chocolate brownies<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1,169],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-47","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-living-gluten-free","7":"category-recipes","8":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.free-from.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.free-from.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.free-from.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.free-from.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.free-from.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.free-from.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.free-from.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.free-from.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.free-from.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
