this one is still warm just a little bit still a little warm today I made a Grand
Marnier brown butter brownie so week five of our of our brownie adventure and
we have been walking enough we're doing okay that way thank you for inquiring
about our health still needs a little warming out yeah so so to make this
you're gonna need butter chocolate white sugar brown sugar eggs vanilla extract
flour cocoa powder baking powder Grand Marnier chocolate liqueur and salt so
good weight even with the parchment sling you still need to just free it a
little bit along the side and allow it to cool there we go so if you've been
following along with our brownies we started with a basic brownie recipe that
we already had on the website and just switched out a couple of the sugars then
we started browning the butter and so this is a brown butter brownie with
chocolate liqueur and Grand Marnier so I started out with browning the butter in
a frying pan and you put it on medium heat don't do it too quickly the water
will boil off it'll spit and make a lot of noise and then as soon as that quiets
down you'll notice that the butter starting to Brown will be like brown
sand in the bottom take it off the heat immediately dump the chocolate in and
keep stirring the chocolate until it is fully melted so again lots of chocolate
smell yeah deep brother to smell but not necessarily the other really nice and
fudgy looks like a fudgy texture
and to be first judge at this time it's got that really creamy texture mm-hmm so
it's um it's not fully fudgy no chewy but it's not cakey no it's kind of an
interesting it's a really nice texture and the orange isn't coming through no
I'm not really getting a lot of it I guess the question is do you need to get
that to get the orange flavor that you're looking forward you have to not
put the chocolate look you're only put yeah maybe
well it is just like a basic brownie though too so in this stand mixer I did
the two sugars a couple of eggs whip that up until it was really light and
frothy and I whipped it really hard
and then I put the liquors in that mixture and whipped them in
all the dry ingredients I sifted them together and then just sort of put the
chocolate in after it cooled a little bit because you don't want to scramble
the eggs and then I spoon the dry mixture in and then put it in the pan
so really there's a lot of different variations you can do on a basic brownie
recipe mm-hmm you just kinda have to decide what you want to do with it do
you want to make it a little chewier you wanna make it a little cake hear your
flavors do you want to complement to your like look the first thing is you
want to join a cakey brownie yeah which has less fat and more flour where do you
wanna chew a brownie which has more fat and less flour
maybe they sue you right I mean that's the great part about making stuff at
home but it's also the worst part because eventually you get a recipe that
is so perfect for you you never like anything else can't eat anywhere else
you can only eat at home um so what's next I mean what other types of there
are other things like brownies well I so we're just like a break from the
brownies but I want to come back to the brownies and I want to try peanut that
classic peanut and chocolate combination hmm do you mean just toss peanuts in I'm
thinking I'm gonna make a peanut look here and add kind of the same way we
made like the hazel look you're just like the hazelnut look here okay and put
that in but I'm gonna take a break from brownies and I'm gonna do blonde so I'm
gonna start next week and do blondes you better hope that the weather keeps up
cause I know it's gonna even though I can't get the I can't get the orange
flavor I think this is I like this as much as the triple chocolate brownie
because it's got the texture and the and the chocolate is very pronounced again
they've been real both really good and without I'm never gonna know and maybe
that's a bad idea maybe you should never do that because
then you know yeah and you only got five pans of brownies all at once 5/10 some
brownies is to do an amenities nice Cod Co yes Cod co-reference there
