i've been on the peanut butter and chocolate kick lately..

the cookie recipe in the tollhouse cookie thread is better

but i didn't wanna be redundant...

(stolen from gourmet 1996)

 

 

 

CHOCOLATE PEANUT-BUTTER LAYER BROWNIES

 

These thick, chewy brownies have a peanut-butter base and a chocolaty top.

 

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened

1 1/4 cups sugar

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chunky peanut butter

3 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped

_fine, or 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

 

Preheat oven to 350°F. and butter and flour a 9-inch square baking pan, knocking out excess flour.

 

In a double boiler or metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate, stirring, until smooth and remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat. Cool chocolate to room temperature.

 

In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy and beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and vanilla. Into a small bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt and beat into butter mixture just until blended well.

 

Divide batter between 2 bowls. Whisk peanut butter into batter in 1 bowl. Whisk melted chocolate into batter in other bowl and stir in chopped chocolate or chocolate chips.

 

Spread peanut-butter batter evenly in pan. Drop chocolate batter by large spoonfuls onto peanut-butter batter and spread carefully to form an even layer. Bake brownies in middle of oven 35 to 40 minutes, or until a tester comes out with crumbs adhering to it. Cool brownies completely in pan on a rack before cutting into 16 squares. Brownies keep, layered between sheets of wax paper in an airtight container at cool room temperature,

5 days.

banana peanut butter quickbread...

 

homemade bread is the shit...but who the fuck has time?

 

i like quickbreads instead....

 

1/4 cup butter or margarine

3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

1/3 cup peanut butter

2 ripe bananas (mashed)

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

 

peanut butter or chocolate chips if you want

 

 

cream butter and sugar

beat in eggs, one at a time, blend well

beat in peanut butter and mashed bananas

mix flour and baking soda

blend flour mixture into butter/eggs/sugar mix

 

mix in chips, or nuts, if you wanna

 

pour batter into a loaf pan

or 3 mini loaf pans

 

bake (one regular loaf pan) at 350F for one hour (check after 50 minutes, test with a toothpick or fork, done if tester is clean)

 

or bake mini-loaf pans at 350F for about 45 minutes..test for doneness..

 

 

 

 

 

TESTING BAKED GOODS

 

when cakes, brownies, quickbreads or any dessert with a cake-like texture or consistency are baked, they can be tested for doneness easily while baking.

 

as the baked good approaches its recommended baking time, pull the thing out of the oven halfway..insert a toothpick, sharp thin knife, or fork into the middle of the thing...pull back out again..if the tester has gooey, doughy, unbaked stuff on it, the thing is not done..if the tester is removed clean, the thing is done baking..

 

**use caution if your baked good has chips in it though..the chips will be melted regardless, so if you're tester passes through one, it may appear (to the untrained eye) that it's unbaked dough..when really it's just melted chip..

put in potatoes when oil is hot

add extra garlic (or garlic powder)

and exxxtra pepper, add CAYENNE!! for a really spicy yum..

cook potatoes, turning or flipping often

mashed potatoes

 

i'm sure i've discussed them already..but they are fucking awesome..

 

i made some last night, lemme tell you....add some sour cream and truffle oil to those bitches!!!

hellsyeah!!

 

i also finally got off the paint binge and did some baking last night...coffee cake yum.

 

streusel topping, nut and cinnamon filling, soooo good..

 

COFFEE CAKE!!

 

4 ounces nuts (walnuts/pecans)

1 tsp cinnamon

2 tblsp sugar

1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup cake

1 tsp vanilla

2 tblsp butter

 

(food processor needed) ....process the nuts with sugars and cinnamon...reserve about 3/4 cup..until nuts are coarsley chopped

gently, briefly process the remainder of nut mix with the flour, vanilla, butter..pulsing briefly to form a crumbly mixture...streusel!

 

 

4 egg yolks

12 tblsp butter

2/3 cup sour cream

1 cup sugar

2 cups cake flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

 

blend egg yolks and half the sour cream

blend all dry ingrediants in a mixing bowl

add the butter and the rest of the sour cream

blend and aerate by mixing on a high speed for a minute or two

scrape down the sides of the bowl well

add the egg/s.cream mix in 3 parts. blending welll after each addition

 

pour about 2/3 of the batter into a greased pan

top evenly with the reserved chopped nuts

top that with the remaining batter, in large globs over the nuts

spread gently! and evenly to top the nuts with batter

top the batter with the streusel

 

bake 60 minutes @ 350 degrees Farenheit

 

cool about 15 minutes before serving

 

 

 

****cake flour can be made with regular flour and cornstarch...for every one cup of flour, add about 1/4 cup cornstarch and blend well (sifting is better) to make 1 1/4 cups cake flour

 

its worth the effort

so my ice tea experiment went very well this weekend.

My first batch of lemon-green-tea was a little weak, but still crisp and refreshing.

My next batch of Jasmine is strong enough and also very crisp.

 

I wish I was sitting on me deck right now sipping ice tea

and enjoying the company of a certain fine lady. but no.... there's no ice tea at work.

OK, I'm doing it, I'm going to chef. Yeah, the hours suck and it's pretty low pay for a while, but you have to do what you like. . .Now just if I could start dreaming some shit about it and maybe I would know what kind of food I'd like to f*ck around with.

GUACAMOLE!!

 

2-3 soft avocados (mash em)

chopped onion

chopped tomato

some adobo

some lemon juice

 

I like with the authentic Mexican style chips rather than Tostidos or other lamo kind.

Tastes really nice with a corona with lime and salt

Yummy for the summertime
