Hey, everyone, I'm new here, but not new to cooking. I absolutely love cooking and trying out/perfecting my favorite recipes, but here's one I just can't figure out.
I'm trying to develop a recipe for blonde brownies- basically I want something that has the consistency of fudgy brownies, but no cocoa/chocolate. I just can't seem to figure it out, though. Here's the recipe I've had the most success with, I actually found it somewhere here...
3 cups plus 3 T flour
1/2 teaspoon salt, baking powder
1 t soda
1 cup butter
2 5/8 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 t vanilla
You melt the butter, remove from heat, add brown sugar, let cool to room temp. Then you add eggs, vanilla and the flour/leavening/salt. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
My problem is that they ALWAYS fall, creating a crater like result. I've tried it with leavening, without leavening, and the only one I've gotten not to fall is when I used some white sugar, but those didn't have the same flavor as the ones with all brown sugar. Am I just not baking long enough? I'm trying to replicate Great Harvest Blonde Brownies, but it just seems impossible... I'm looking for something dense and fudgy that doesn't fall in the middle... lol!
Any ideas? Thanks!
