<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> After consulting with another graduate student who needs a good dose of chocolate and sugar to get through a hard day at school, the following brownie recipe is being made available. I don't use the nuts, however, using real GF ingredients and substitute nothing else, these are wonderful! For one 9in x 13in pan's worth: 3/4 cup butter or margarine (biff!) 3/4 cup cocoa powder (pow!) 2 1/4 cup sugar (zowie!) 4 eggs (I haven't tried an egg subst., but it may work) 2 teaspoons vanilla (you know, the safe kind) 1 1/3 cup GF flour (used Bette H's mix plus Xanthan Gum) 1 cup chopped nuts (if desired) 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt Preheat oven to 325 deg. F Grease (not oil) and lightly *cocoa* (instead of flour) 9"x13" pan. In large sauce pan, melt margarine/butter with cocoa over low heat, stirring constantly (actually, I just put the cocoa and butter in a bowl, stick it in the microwave for a couple of minutes, 'til the butter's melted, then stir with a fork 'til it's mostly smooth - don't wear yourself out). Remove from heat and cool slightly. Blend in sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in remaining ingredients. Spread in prepared pan. (it should be pretty thick and sticky at this point - the batter, not the pan!) Bake at 325 deg. F and check after 20-25 minutes (I use a stoneware pan and it takes about 10 minutes longer than in a metal pan). I consider them done when whatever is stuck in the middle to check for doneness (toothpick, butterknife, whatever's handy) comes up a bit moist, but not with a great deal of chocolate adhering to it. I'm aiming for a slightly gooey middle and somewhat cake-like edges. It's safe to say that they will not be done before 20 minutes unless your oven really cooks on the hot side. These are guaranteed to keep the kids (and adults) buzzing until well into the night, but it won't otherwise desturb their celiac insides. I'll be happy to answer any questions regarding the ingredients. Enjoy! -- Margaret Pratt E-mail: [log in to unmask] Toxicology Program http://www.orst.edu/~prattm/ Oregon State University
