Scoring Brownie Points


One fine weekend, i packed my bags and headed to a land i've never been to : Potong Pasir . My colleague's parents were away in Hong Kong and so she invited me over for a girl's baking afternoon ( after our successful sleepover pyjamas party in the past ).



She is a career-nut...purchasing a balance that strongly resembles those kind we use in our labs. Anyway, contrary to our lab roles, in her home she was the one instructing me to weigh the baking powder.



Here's the chocolate block she had gotten ready for our brownie.




Put chocolate block and butter into a bowl and melt in the microwave oven.



Stir well to ensure that they've melted well. Mix sugar in and continue stirring. Giving it a James Bond twist, i like my brownies stirred, not shaken.... *lame*





The alcoholic in me is working up again....just a dash of Kahlua into the mixture....muahahaha... Oh, and we also added 4 eggs.



One of us add sifted flour into the bowl while the other stirs furiously as the mixture gets more and more coagulated.



Next, pour the mixture into the tray and sprinkle some chocolate pastilles onto the surface.



Now, we bake and we wait while the heavenly scents start to emanate from the convection oven.




Looks a little wrinkled but pretty good huh?
