TUESDAY RECIPES: KATHARINE HEPBURN'S BROWNIES

Ayer estaba buscando recetas de chocolate para hacer algo dulce para la merienda, y me encontré esta joyita. Yo he probado unas cuantas recetas de brownies y esta es de las mejores sin duda alguna. Pero además, lo del nombre tiene una bonita historia: 

"This recipe first appeared in the New York Times on July 6, 2003. In the letter attached to the submitted recipe was this story. Heather Henderson, Katharine’s neighbor, turned in the recipe. She had spend some time getting to know Katherine over a series of casual meetings after her mother had asked Katharine to convince her daughter to stay in school when Heather was threatening to leave. One day, Heather’s father had heard that Katharine had been in a car accident and was recovering at home. They stopped by her house with a batch of brownies. Hepburn, always speaking her mind, said “Too much flour! And don’t overbake them! They should be moist not cakey!” She gave her brownie recipe to Heather’s father on a scribbled note and the rest is history.!"

¿Qué os parece? Me gustan tanto la actriz como la anécdota, así que la imprimo, la guardo en mi archivador de recetas y además contaré la historia en la próxima merienda con amigas :). 

Que disfrutéis tanto del "cokking off" como de los brownies.

*Os dejo cuadrito con abreviaturas por si os hacéis un poco de lio, y recordad que si queréis, tenéis el botoncito de imprimir receta al final ok?
