Perfect Passover Brownies Recipes

PASSOVER (PESACH) BROWNIES

Steps:

• Beat eggs and sugar. Add oil. Mix in cake meal and cocoa. Add nuts (or use the nuts as a topping).
• Bake in a greased 9 x 13 inch pan at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 35 minutes. The secret to moist brownies, Pesach or otherwise, is to underbake them. Check them at 30 minutes. I also put nuts on top rather than in the brownies for two reasons: They make the top look good without having to frost them and, for those who don 't or can't eat nuts, they are easily removed without having to search for them.

EXCEPTIONAL PASSOVER BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Prepare an 8-inch square pan by spraying it with a non-stick spray or by coating it with butter or margarine.
• Melt the chocolate in the microwave, a double boiler, or in a glass bowl set over a pan filled with simmering water. Put aside.
• In a bowl using a wooden spoon or with a stand or hand-held electric mixer, cream the margarine or butter and sugar together. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat well until completely combined. Add the melted chocolate, scraping the bowl with a spatula to get all the chocolate added.
• In another bowl, the stir cake meal, cocoa and salt together. Stir in these dry ingredients and then add the nuts. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
• Transfer to the prepared baking pan. Bake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
