SoNo Brownies
The nice guy on Everyday Food and Everyday Baking, John Barricelli has a new cookbook, The SoNo Baking Company Cookbook, named for his South Norwalk, Connecticut bakery.
My friend, Mary of Popsicles and Sandy Feet has even been to the bakery! Since it is a little far for me to drop in, I made the SoNo Brownies on page 86 of his book.

SoNo Brownies
1/2 c all purpose flour
1/2 c unsweetened cocoa powder (I used Penzy's Dutch cocoa)
1/2 t salt
1/4 t baking powder
Pinch of baking soda
1/2 c (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 c sugar
1 T light corn syrup
2 large eggs, room temp (To bring them to room temp quickly, place in a bowl of warm water for 5-10 minutes)
1 T vanilla extract
1 C semisweet chocolate chips (I used Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips)
1. Use an 8-inch square baking pan. Butter or spray. I lined mine with parchment paper.
2. Preheat over to 350 degrees.
3. Whisk together flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder and soda.
4. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the sugar and corn syrup, whisk to combine. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time. Whisk in vanilla.
5. Fold in the dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips. Don't overmix.
6. Pour into pan, smooth the top. Bake until toothpick comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
7. Cool in pan and then eat!! Enjoy!
I just tried to make my first-ever batch of brownies and, much to my disappointment, they didn't turn out very well. But maybe I'll try this version out and hopefully get more-edible brownies! Thanks for sharing the recipe! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks yummm :)
ReplyDeleteI recently tried to make my first-ever batch of homemade brownies, and it definitely didn't go too well. I blame the recipe, so maybe I'll give this one a try, knowing that someone else had success with it! Thanks for sharing it with us :)
ReplyDeleteThese look so good...I'm drooling and want to make a batch of brownies now, even though it's way too late to do that!
ReplyDeleteI just borrowed this book from the library recently! Unfortunately, I didn't get to make anything before I had to return it, but I had fun flipping through and looking at the recipes. Brownies were a good choice and these look awesome! Love that they're made on the stove :)
ReplyDeleteThese brownies looks really yummy! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLooks so thick and chewy, and also moist in the center. If you give me a dry brownie that tastes great I am not interested, but if you give me a moist brownie with a chewy center I cannot turn it down. Looks like a winner. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of favorite brownie recipes, but love cocoa brownies because they are so easy! And if they taste as good as yours look, I'll be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThose brownies look sooo good!!
ReplyDeleteYum...I am babysitting for a friends' ten year old tonight and I think we might just have to make these brownies :)...you rock. I hope you are feeling better...
ReplyDeleteI've never made brownies cooked on the stove. Now I'm all curious! And trying to be good. Damn. xxSAS

I live within walking distance of the SoNo Baking Company. I love everything they make. I'm so glad other people can now enjoy John's creations at home.
ReplyDeleteI just got myself a copy of this book and flagged this recipe to try. Yours look like they turned out great.
ReplyDeleteOoo these look delicious! And I must say that those are the most perfectly and evenly cut brownies I've ever seen! Mine are always a bit off.
ReplyDeletei haven't checked this book out yet, but i've been meaning to. i might have to try out this recipe first since i'm a bit of a brownie fanatic
ReplyDeletethese brownies are so good! i baked some to give as a housewarming gift today. best brownies ever. thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteMy mother-in-law made these, and they were really good while still warm! I didn't think they were quite as good the next day or two, so I'd recommend eating them as soon as you can.
ReplyDeleteThe actual recipe calls for kosher salt, this makes a huge difference I believe.
