Dedicated MadhuKnitsandCooks.com readers may remember my pronouncement that low-fat brownie recipes just don't seem to work, and that I would foreswear them in the future for more flavorful "full" fat brownie recipes.
Well, that promise clearly didn't hold up as I recently tried the Cook's Illustrated Lighter Brownies recipe. And the result was actually really delicious – fudgy and moist (almost too moist in a sense because of how fudgy the brownies were). I have made them twice this summer for barbeques, and they were a big hit both times. The only downside is that the recipe makes a relatively small number of brownies so it is easy for just a few people to polish off the whole batch! I also substituted 1 oz. of bittersweet chocolate for 1 oz. of the semisweet chocolate in the last batch I made, added a little bit more sugar, and the result was fine – so just a note for those like me who don't always have full semisweet chocolate bars in their cupboards.
