食譜 Recipe: Brownies布朗尼(簡單 Easy)

對於癡迷巧克力的我來說,即使是做最普通常見的布朗尼,我都會要求用好品質的巧克力塊,而不是巧克力粉.巧克力粉做出來的布朗尼有巧克力味,但卻沒有巧克力塊做出來的濃郁口感

我覺得最好吃的布朗尼就是表面是脆的,上層是輕的,下層是濃郁濕潤又扎實的巧克力塊.而不是輕柔的巧克力海綿蛋糕假裝是布朗尼

要做出這樣的布朗尼

1.      好的黑巧克力 dark chocolate 不建議用牛奶巧克力

2.      要蜂蜜代替部份糖類,因為蜂蜜會增加保濕

3.      加一些些即溶黑咖啡,咖啡跟巧克力非常合,它會幫助帶出巧克力的味道

I am a big fan of chocolate and very strict about its quality. Even with the most common baked products, such as brownies, I believe in only using the finest quality cacao.

Brownies should always be moist and very dense, with at least two layers. The top part should be dry but the bottom part should be moist. Because real chocolate is very heavy, it always settles to the bottom while baking.

The key to making fantastic brownies:
1. Using the best quality dark chocolate available.
2. Whisk the batter in moderately. Brownies do not contain as much air as cakes do. This is why we don’t use baking soda or powder in brownies.
3. Use honey as a substitution for sugar. Honey contributes to the moisture content of the brownies.
4. Another option is to add a dash of instant coffee. It pairs very well with chocolate. You won’t actually taste coffee but it helps to strengthen the taste of chocolate.
