A brownie by any other name… Love brownies. Love their shiny, flaky top that shatters into micro-thin shards that shower onto your fingers as you eat. Love their dark, gooey center. Their “chocolate nirvana” flavor. Sometimes can’t deal with the bake, wait to cool, cutting into squares messiness and fuss of brownies. Every time I make these cookies (which, truth be told, is quite often), I think of a former colleague, Ana, who left King Arthur last year in order to be a full-time mom to her 2-year-old twins. The test kitchen bakers loved Ana. Ana still visits occasionally, 2-year-olds in tow. And when she does, she’ll invariably nose out any chocolate, and treat us to her classic reaction: “Perfect!

These cookies are basically brownies: flat, round, 2 ½” brownies. First task: Combine the chocolate and butter. Melt in the microwave till softened… …then stir till smooth. Stir the chocolate into eggs and sugar, which you’ve beaten together. Refrigerate the batter for an hour; it’ll stiffen up nicely. Buy vs. Homemade Oreos | Flour Child. Fact #1: I made Oreos. I didn’t think it was possible, either. Fact #2: They tasted just like the real ones.. on crack. So much better.

So. Much. Fact #3: They are extraordinarily better for your body than those blue plastic wrapped gems. Fact #4: You will become 700 times more popular if you bring a batch of these to school/work/anywhere else where humans congregate. Sorry about all the paparazzi. Falling short in the friends department? Just kidding.. obviously Oreos.

Jordana. Mitarashi Dango. Mitarashi dango is one of Japanese traditional sweets.Dango is a Japanese chewy and bouncy dumpling made from rice flour, related to mochi.The caramel colored sauce is called mitarashi and made from soy sauce, sugar and starch. This sweet but savory sauce is perfect with dango. It's similar to the taste of teriyaki sauce. You need special rice flour(mochiko) to make dango.But today I'm introducing how to make dango with more familiar ingredient, RICE! And it's much easier to make it than using rice flour. For the dango1cup Cooked rice ( I used brown rice)2tbs Potato starch For the mitarashi sauce3tbs Soy sauce80g Sugar100cc Water1tbs Potato starch Mix together rice and potato starch to make dango.Knead until it form a ball.Divide the dough into 6 balls.Cook in boiling water until it comes floating to the surface.Place into cold water.Put the dango on skewers.Grill the skewered dangos on a grill until slightly grill-marked.
