SoNo Bakery Brownies - John Barricelli
Sunday, May 16, 2010
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.
This is a really easy recipe. Quick and easy. You make it in a pot, not a KitchenAid. I love making stuff on the stove. It makes me feel like I'm actually cooking...since I do very little real cooking. :)
Made with cocoa and chocolate chips, this is a nice and rich brownie.
These were a big hit at work. I really liked them and will make them again for sure.

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! :)
Looks yummm :)
I 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 :)
These 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!
I 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 :)
These brownies looks really yummy! Beautiful.
Looks 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. :)
I 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.
These look delicious! Thanks for sharing!!
Those brownies look sooo good!!
Yum...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...
I've never made brownies cooked on the stove. Now I'm all curious! And trying to be good. Damn. xxSAS

Feel free to send some my way!

Hello,
I was searching out for a brownie recipe and i was so happy to see you post. I made them yesterday and they came out well. So well that even my mom who doesnt quite like chocolate ate almost half of them. I so much wanted to write to you yesterday thanking you for this wonderful recipe but was tired. I shall be making them again shortly. Thank you.
Regards,
Indrani.

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.
I just got myself a copy of this book and flagged this recipe to try. Yours look like they turned out great.
Ooo 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.
i 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
these brownies are so good! i baked some to give as a housewarming gift today. best brownies ever. thanks for the post!
My 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.
The actual recipe calls for kosher salt, this makes a huge difference I believe.
