Instructies
Brownie
Preheat the oven to 375 °F or 340 °F
Take an elongated quiche tin of 14 x 5 inches (35 x 13 cm) and put baking paper at the bottom.
Mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt with a fork.
4 oz. all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt
Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl au bain marie
⅓ cup butter, 4 oz. dark chocolate
Pour the butter and chocolate mixture into a bowl and mix in the sugar. Mix for 3 minutes, then add the egg and the vanilla extract.
⅔ cup dark brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
When everything is well mixed, add the contents of the bowl of dry ingredients spoon by spoon while mixing on low speed.
Pour into the tin and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
Topping
Place the maple syrup in a saucepan and bring it to a boil.
1 cup maple syrup
Lower the heat and allow caramelizing for 15 minutes.
Then carefully add the butter and then the cream. Toss the pecans in the syrup, covering them completely.
⅓ cup cream, 2 tablespoons butter, 1¾ cup salted pecans
Place the nuts on the brownie until they are used up, and pour the rest of the syrup over the pecans.
Let everything cool in the fridge for at least an hour.
NOTES
1. Vanilla Extract: If you can get it, use natural vanilla extract. With this vanilla extract recipe, you can make it yourself.2. Pecans: Use it for the topping. The delicious nutty taste combines well with the maple syrup and chocolate. You can also replace it with walnuts or hazelnuts.3. Variations:
Very tasty (and decadent): Make some salty caramel with this recipe and drizzle it over the brownies.
More chocolate: Add 50 grams of chocolate chips to the batter for an extra chocolate flavor.
4. Tips
The brownie is baked until it has a cake structure. If you prefer a soft inside, bake the brownie for 25 minutes. Prick the center of the brownie with a toothpick. When there is a thin layer of chocolate on the skewer, it is ready. Otherwise, extend the baking time by two minutes.
Let the brownie cool completely before making the topping and cutting. Otherwise, it may fall apart.
5. Oven: When you use a conventional oven, set the temperature to 375 °F (190 °C). In a convection oven, 340 °F (170 °C) is sufficient.6. Storage
Fridge: Store the brownies in an airtight container (or wrap them in plastic wrap). You can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezer: If you want to keep them longer, freeze them! Wrap the brownies individually in plastic foil and then in a freezer box. You can store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. Freezing will change the structure of the pecans slightly and make them less crunchy.
