BAKERY STYLE FUDGE BROWNIES 1 C All Purpose Flour 1 1/2 TSP Baking Powder 3/4 TSP Salt 2 C Semi Sweet Morsels, melted 1 C Unsalted Butter 2 C Sugar 6 Large Eggs 2 TBSP Vanilla Extract (I LOVE vanilla!) 1 C Semi Sweet Morsels *optional PREHEAT oven to 350. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate large mixing bowl whip together butter and eggs one at a time until combined. Adding in vanilla extract and semi sweet morsels at the end. Place on a 11x17 lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 25-25 minutes depending on your oven. You'll see the crust set up nicely and the middle a little under baked. That's the softness of the brownie. If you prefer a more cake like brownie bake for an additional 5-10 minutes. HOMEMADE FUDGE ICING RECIPE 5 TBSP Sugar 5 TBSP Water 2 TBSP Corn Syrup 1 C Unsweetened Cocoa Powder 2 TBSP Vegetable Oil 2 TBSP Vegetable Shortening 4 TBSP Corn Syrup (honey or golden syrup works too) 2 Sticks of Unsalted Butter 2 TSP Vanilla Extract 8 C Powdered Sugar 4-6 TBSP Cold Water In a small saucepan combine the first 3 ingredients to make a simple syrup. You will want to boil the ingredients for 2-3 minutes over medium high heat. Next place the simple syrup into a bowl and allow place in freezer to cool. Using a Kitchen Aid mixer with the paddle attachment add the cocoa powder and cooled but still warm simple syrup and mix until it forms a firm mass. It will be thick and odd, but, it's ok! Next add the Vegetable Oil and Solid Vegetable Shortening ensure to combine all the ingredients. You may need to use a spatula and scrape down the sides of your bowl. Add the corn syrup and the softened butter mixing until smooth. Place sifted confectioners sugar all at once and mix on low until smooth.
