Pantry Cocoa Brownies

Yield: Makes 16

Prep Time: 20 minutes to 25 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes to 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 2/3 cup canola or flavorless oil
  • 2/3 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F. Coat a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Dust the pan with flour, tap out the excess, and set aside.

  2. Place the oil into a microwave-safe medium bowl and heat on low power in 4 to 6 (5-second) bursts until warm but not hot. Add the cocoa powder and whisk until completely smooth and combined. Let sit for 4 or 5 minutes so the cocoa can bloom. Meanwhile, prepare the dry and wet ingredients.

  3. Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and whisk to combine; set aside.

  4. Place the eggs, powdered sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl. (Alternatively, place in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Using an electric hand mixer, beat on medium speed until fluffy and lighter in color, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla until just combined.

  5. Add 1/2 of the cocoa mixture to the egg mixture and mix at medium-high speed until shiny and fully combined, about 5 minutes. Add the flour mixture to the egg and cocoa mixture and mix at low speed until fully combined. Add the remaining cocoa mixture and and mix at medium-high speed until shiny and fully combined, about 1 minute. Transfer to the baking pan and spread into an even layer.

  6. Bake for 20 to 24 minutes (you can bake for up to 30 minutes if you like a firmer brownie with some crisp edges). The brownies will pull away from the edges of the pan, but a cake tester or knife inserted in the middle will not come out clean. Let cool before cutting into 16 squares.

Storage: The brownies can be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Grandma Ludwig's Cherry Jello/Apple Salad for Thanksgiving

1  large package of cherry jello
2 c. boiling water
1 1/2 to 2 c. orange juice  (Lola would use 1-2 real oranges and grate a little skin off too) and then use frozen orange juice to make the 1 1/2 c.
Grated rind of one orange
5 grated apples

Serve with whipped cream.  Lola would add a little drained, crushed pineapple to the whipped cream.

(The recipe was written on a note sheet that said "Courtesy of . . . LDS Hospital.)  That is interesting because Lola was a pink lady volunteer at LDS Hospital for years and years.  Jane was also a candy stripper along with her.  She was made the director because she was so organized and did such a good job.  That meant she was a paid employee.  Then, when Lola and Gene were called to preside over the New Zealand South Mission in 1969, she had to be released.  When they came home from their mission to New Zealand, Lola was again asked to lead the volunteers at LDS Hospital.  Grandma was very organized, a good worker, and well respected.

This bread also freezes well. Wrap in plastic wrap and a freezer bag and freeze for up to one month. Defrost before slicing. If you want to make muffins, line a muffin pan with muffin liners or grease cups. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Will make 12 muffins.

Grandma Ludwig's Famous Meatballs (Richard's favorite)

This is what I remember:

I remember the onions, hamburger, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce.  I have started to use the following recipe because the meatballs stay together a little better.  The flavor is much the same.   

Please add your memories of this recipe......

 

  • 1 large egg
  • 2 T or so of milk
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 t. Worcestershire sauce
  • Dash pepper
  • 1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil or butter

  • GRAVY:
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cup beef broth (could also add a little milk or cream)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • In a large bowl, mix the egg, milk, onion, salt, pepper, and add beef; mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-in. meatballs. (Mixture will be very soft. For easier shaping, rinse hands in cold water frequently.)
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the meatballs in butter, half at a time, for about 10 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove meatballs to paper towels to drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in skillet.
  • For gravy, add butter to drippings. Stir in flour. Add broth.. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Return meatballs to skillet; heat through on low. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Rice Pudding

 (just as Lola gave the directions)

Cook 1 cup rice per package directions.  Use correct amount of water and salt.  Cook rice until it starts to be tender.  (add probably about 1/2 t. salt)

Cook about 10 minutes and then add a little canned milk and regular milk.  Also add about 1/2 c. brown sugar and sweeten to taste.  Then also add about 1 tsp. regular sugar.  Simmer at least ` hour.  Stir often and add milk as moisture is used up.  

Use dab of cream on top or fold a bit into the pudding!  (I would add 1 tsp. vanilla after it's done.)
