Brownie Failure ...
Mar. 20th, 2010 09:44 pmMade brownies tonight. Sorta. *sigh*
I had promised the kiddo brownies last week. So, tonight, trying to make good on my promise, I got out my stuff and mixed and measured and all that. Everything went fine and dandy.
Except ...
I put them in a pan that was too small. So, instead of cooking them for 30 minutes, I had to cook them for 55 minutes. They are finally done, I think. And, by some miracle, the outside didn't burn -- although I'm kind of worried the edges will be too tough to chew once they cool. They puffed up really pretty on the outside edge, but they fell in the middle. So, basically, there's this little sort of square (because it's a square pan) dent in the middle of the brownies. Then, I had to check them so many times that part of the dent caved in in the middle -- you know, from poking it with toothpicks.
This is what I get for trying to do something like this when I'm tired and after a day of "family stuff": driving around for pictures, grocery store, taking the kiddo to the playground.
Still ... brownie failure. It's so not pretty. -.-"
