Guinness Stout Brownies



I chanced upon a recipe from Joanie for Guinness Stout Brownies and since I had all the ingredients at hand, I didn't hesitate to give it a try.  I had baked cakes and bread with Stout, so why not add a Brownie to the list....mmm






These crust cracked  Brownies are superb, moist and full of choco flavour but without the slightest  trace of stout at all, which means you can indulge in them at any time of the day!









Recipe for Guinness Stout Brownies (adapted from Joanie with slight modification)

Ingredients
  • 1 can of Guinness Stout
  • 12 oz chocolate, chopped
  • 8 oz butter
  • 1 cup/8 oz brown sugar (reduced from 1.1/2 cups)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 oz plain flour
  • 1/8  tsp salt
  • Icing sugar
Method
  1. Bring stout to the boil with 2 oz brown sugar, simmer till 3/4 cup.  Let cool.
  2. Sift the flour with the salt, set aside.
  3. Microwave chocolate and butter, stirring in between till melted.
  4. Whisk eggs with the balance of brown sugar in a mixing bowl till light and fluffy.  Whisk in the chocolate mixture and then the beer mixture.  Fold in the sifted flour and salt.  Mix well.
  5. Pour into a parchment lined 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg C till surface begins to set, around 40 mins. and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool before slicing and dust with icing sugar.

    Brownies are never popular in my household as the family are not into dense cakes ...they prefer fluffy cakes...I do like brownies though

      So if you make them, you'll have to eat them all by yourself..Yes we must make sure that there are 'guinea pigs' around whenever we try out new recipes!

    Hi Cheah,

    I would love to try this one day but not too sure how my little boy will react to the addition of Guinness Stout into our brownies.

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.

Double Boiled Herbal Chicken Soup

Double boiling is slow cooking ........ means to put a soup pot or any covered ceramic or steel pot inside a bigger pot, immerse in boiling water, and let the soup cook at a lower temperature.  Hence the soup is cooked from heat generated from the boiling water and not from direct heat source. Double boiling lets the soup ingredients slowly release their nutrients into the soup, thus making it tasty and wholesome.  It's a long cooking process, roughly averaging 2 to 4 hours.  The tip is not to open the cover to check on the soup as it'll bring down the temperature and affect the cooking process.  The plus point is there's little evaporation and the soup will not boil over.  The only thing is to monitor that there's enough water in the bigger pot and not let it run dry.  Of course, nowadays, the slow cooker is another alternative to double boiling, saves the hassle of checking the water level.
