This afternoon we are meeting up with John's family to celebrate my sister in law's birthday. I decided to bake brownies to bring along with us. I just recently starting baking from scratch and I love the results. Now I look for any excuse to try a new recipe since I don't like to bake for just John and I. I decided to try to find a recipe online that used only ingredients I have in the house. I came across this recipe for brownies and thought I'd give it a shot.
Well... they taste great but I really couldn't get the cook time down. After 30 minutes they were not even close to being done, so I kept them in longer. I took them out after 40 minutes and the middle was still pure batter. UGH! SO I put them back in.... the edges came out great but the middle never cooked. Any suggestions on what I did wrong? Since I only have the edges to work with I think I don't think I'll take them to my in-laws... but who knows! We will see once they completely cool what I have to work with.
Overall these taste awesome, but I need to figure out the cook time issue! It could just me my oven... I can't wait to move into our new house in a month!! An oven that works well- should be great!
